Extinction Clock, Failed Environmental Forecasts

The hosts reference "extinctionclock.org," a website that tracks failed environmental and climate predictions from the last several decades. Examples include a 2003 prediction of massive species extinction by 2023 and a 2017 claim that the Hoover Dam would stop providing water to Las Vegas by 2021. They argue that the media's constant state of alarm is historically inaccurate.
