50 years of predictions that the climate apocalypse is nigh

Apocalypse . . . now?
For the past two weeks in Glasgow, Scotland, world leaders have gathered at COP 26, the United Nations Climate Change Conference, to listen to the same message: Disaster is just around the corner.
“The world has to step up, and it has to step up now,” former President Barack Obama said. “When it comes to climate, time really is running out.”
Professional yeller Greta Thunberg demanded the United Nations declare a “systemwide climate emergency,” and force countries to take action.
Press accounts were similarly Chicken Little-esque. If developed nations don’t phase out oil and gas and give $100 billion in “climate financing,” Paul Behrens, professor in environmental change, told Politico that “the only fact about the future I can declare with certainty is that the world as we know it is coming to an end.”
Past examples here (for Zumi, "The Receipts"):
