The earth will begin its cooling phase in 2030. Along with the other planets in our solar system.

I'm sure the sun will expand and get rid of all the ice (and water) on Earth eventually.

Oh shit, we only have 3-5 billion more years. We had better pay more in taxes to stop it.

My elementary school text books carried the oil disappearance lie in them. The claimed within 50 years oil would be used up. Mind you, preteen me didn't think years from the book date, but rather 50 years from the day I read that. Either way here we are almost 40 year later and oil is still going strong

Yeah, peak oil was supposed to destroy us all by the year 2000. Of course, the ice caps were supposed to have simultaneously melted while throwing Britain into a new ice age by 2000 as well.

I'll date myself a little for anyone in So Cal who was there during the era. At one point, a fruit fly, the Mediterranean Fruit Fly to be exact, was found in the region. Given that So Cal still pretended to give a fuck about agriculture at that point, it became a massive war to kill them all. They began massive nighttime air drops of a pesticide called Malathion. People quickly began to notice their plants wilting and dying, as if they'd been set on fire. The OFFICIAL story they squawked on the news is it was the result of concentrated acid rain that the region had been receiving. My grandfather kept a huge Nopales in his back yard that was killed to the root as a result of the spraying, and he kept cursing the news at the time saying "Acid rain my ass."
I still wonder to this day what the long term ramifications of those dousings were to the region.

Did they do the mosquito fogging where you were? We used to have trucks that would go through town fogging with malathion to kill mosquitoes.
One of the local burgs called Dresden (formerly home of the basket place) gained the name "Bug City" they did it so much.
