This appears on the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) blog titled 'Wrong Again: 50 Years of Failed Eco-pocalyptic Predictions."

"Modern doomsayers have been predicting climate and environmental disaster since the 1960s. They continue to do so today. None of the apocalyptic predictions with due dates as of today have come true. What follows is a collection of notably wild predictions from notable people in government and science."

Here's the top 15 of the 50 failed doomsday eco-pocolyptic predictions (with links in the article):
