Real science invites skepticism, critical thinking, more information and alternatives.

As far as dooms day environmental predictions go do your self a favor and google search 2 things:
"environmental predictions that came true"
and
"failed environmental predictions"
See for your self how many claims were made and how many came true.

The problem I find is all these predictions have been made, dooms dates have come and gone, nothing happened and some times the predictions get recycled and extended out another 20 to 70 years. Other wise not a single one has even came close.
With the dooms day sayers impeccable record of failure, why would we start believing them now?
