Climate: For decades celebrities said we had one decade to live. But nowwwww...um

That was then:

Before Al Gore there was this: In 1975, Newsweek Predicted A New Ice Age. We’re Still Living with the Consequences.

Then later... Al Gore says the doomsday predictions from climate scientists 20 years ago "were proven dead right," so we should take them even more seriously now.

 What Did Al Gore Say About Climate Change?  

One of Gore’s most significant contributions to the climate change conversation was his documentary “An Inconvenient Truth,” released in 2006. Through this film, he showcased the undeniable evidence of global warming, presenting scientific data, personal anecdotes, and compelling visuals that illustrated the stark realities of a changing planet.

Al Gore’s ‘Inconvenient Truth’ turns 20, and critics say biggest disaster is its failed predictions 
 "Since Gore’s film was released – which was given a sequel in 2017 – Gore has continued to make false predictions, the meteorologist said. In 2009, Gore stated that the Arctic would be ice-free in summer within five to seven years. As of today, the Arctic still has ice in summer."

2019: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Warns, ‘World Is Going to End in 12 Years,’ Reiterating Claims of Recent U.N. Climate Change Report   

"Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the Democrat from New York, called climate change "our World War II" and warned that the world will end in 12 years if we don't address global warming on Monday."

. . . "Thousands of lives per year could be lost as the elderly or ill suffer from heat stroke and other heat-related trauma. Poor and underdeveloped nations would suffer the worst effects, since they would not have the financial resources to deal with the problems that come with an increase in temperature. Huge numbers of people could die from starvation if a decrease in precipitation limits crop growth and from disease if coastal flooding leads to widespread water-borne illness." . . .

Do we really only have ten years to save the planet? 

"The trouble is, we’re already at 1.1°C above this baseline. Without urgent action we’ll pass 1.5°C in around 20 years. This would have catastrophic impacts for our planet, such as more extreme weather, loss of habitats and the species living within them, which could threaten our food and water supplies. Preventing this requires much more action, and this needs to happen right now."

But this is now!   Al Gore Warns 'The Day After Tomorrow' Ice Age Could Happen in 25 Years, 10 Years After 'Inconvenient Truth' Prophecies Failed

 In response to this doomsday warning, Whitford sets a more drastic timeline — that if Gore’s energy policies are not enacted, “we’re in an ice age in, like, 10 years.” However, Gore punts the prophecy’s deadline much farther into the future, dodging any chance of accountability."

Most sources guess in 10000 years; not likely a consensus, but probably one guess metastasizing into many copies. TD
