Having been around for a long, long time, I'm not worried yet. I don't believe Hawaii's children should be that engaged, either. I believe they should do more studying first. Below are some predictions edited for clarity.
“If present trends continue, the world will be about four degrees colder for the global mean temperature in 1990, but 11 degrees colder by the year 2000. This is about twice what it would take to put us in an ice age.” -- ecology professor Kenneth E.F. Watt at the University of California in 1970.
“By the year 2000 the United Kingdom will be simply a small group of impoverished islands, inhabited by some 70 million hungry people. If I were a gambler, I would take even money that England will not exist in the year 2000 and give ten to one that the life of the average Briton would be of distinctly lower quality than it is today.” – Stanford University Professor Paul Ehrlich, 1971.
“Climatologists are pessimistic that political leaders will take any positive action to compensate for the climate change, or even to allay its effects,” -- Newsweek, “The Cooling World,” 1975, which claimed that Earth’s temperature had been plunging for decades due to humanity’s activities.
“By 1995 the greenhouse effect will be desolating the heartlands of North America and Eurasia with horrific drought, causing crop failures and food riots. By 1996 the Platte River of Nebraska will be dry, while a continent-wide black blizzard of prairie topsoil will stop traffic on interstates, strip paint from houses and shut down computers.” – Princeton professor and lead UN IPCC author Michael Oppenheimer, 1990, while working as “chief scientist” for the Environmental Defense Fund.
“Within a few years snowfall will become a very rare and exciting event in Britain. Children just aren’t going to know what snow is.” – senior research scientist David Viner, Climatic Research Unit (CRU), March 2000.
“Imminent sea-level rises, increased hurricanes, and desertification caused by man-made global warming will lead to massive population disruptions. By 2010, some 50 million “climate refugees” will be frantically fleeing from affected regions of the globe.” – the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), 2005.
I cannot in good conscience leave out Algore:
“The entire North Polarized [sic] cap will disappear in five years. Five years is the period of time during which it is now expected to disappear.” – 2009, speaking to an audience in Germany.
