Most reading those predictions now will scoff. That's the danger in of the direst warnings about climate change or other challenges just over the horizon: If predictions don't come to pass, people can end up dismissing very real problems. Climate-change denialists, in particular, can seize on failed predictions as proof that the phenomenon isn't real. Scare-mongering that is meant to inspire may end up doing the very opposite.
