Let's play devil's advocate and go back a few decades.
The 1970's were filled with predictions of "The Coming Ice Age." Click the link for a cover of Time Magazine, and a video narrated by Leonard Nimoy (on leave from his duties as Science Officer of the Enterprise?).

"We will be forced to sacrifice democracy by the laws that will protect us from further pollution." - Dr. Arnold Reitze

“There are worse crimes than burning books. One of them is not reading them.”
-Joseph Brodsky
