Each day it seems we are bombarded with another story of impending doom and gloom by the Left. Their dire predictions, if studied over time, have been the catalyst to political change they might otherwise have not been able to make without scaring the public half to death. Each new scare comes with calls for higher taxes or “user fees” on objects or services they deem “dangerous.” From Happy Meals to light-bulbs the Left is determined to rule with an iron fist over every aspect of your life and if they have to scare the pants off you to do it, they will. The following are the top ten examples of some of the most destructive apocalyptic prophecies that all came to nothing.

Sometimes the Greenies are amusing, like when they chain themselves to trees for months without showering or show up naked in a cage at some protest, but in some instances they are downright dangerous. In 1962, Rachel Carson wrote the book Silent Spring where she used less than accurate science to “prove” that DDT was going to destroy all living things and give anyone who survived cancer. DDT was a chemical widely used to kill mosquitoes and stop the deadly disease malaria. Carson found high concentration of DDT in broken eggshells of some species of birds. This led to a discovery that DDT was indeed causing a thinning of the membrane in some eggs. But her discovery, instead of prompting further testing and possible change in procedure (like being careful not to over-spray) the Environmental Protection Agency was founded and DDT was banned.
