Top Five Epic Fail Predictions for 2020
2020-01-01
[Fox News] Will the world end in 12 years? Maybe 30?

If history is any guide, it will not. Many similar predictions have been made in the past, but they came and went without tragedy.

Here are the five worst predictions made about 2020 that failed to pan out.
Not really five, since three involve climate change. One for peak oil, and the remainder for missing the tech revolution - "tech-caused inequality". All three/five progressive dreams get 'woke'.

#1  I've always enjoyed the 'running out of oil' bullshit - it's one of the first themes I encountered when first being exposed to all the global warming crap in the mid-1970's. Coupled with this article also mentioning prior articles that repeated the theme in 1989 and 2003, it's obvious they just recycle themes every 15 years when they think people have forgotten about the last time they were WRONG!
