This also covered scientific theories up to the 70's. I do recall scientists claiming the oceans would be dead in a decade during the 80's. There were ten - twenty year alarmist predictions during the 90's too.
Also, a major volcanic eruption places more pollution in the atmosphere than all the automobiles in the world since their invetion and this planet has survived a few volcanoes.
