You got any examples here?

Considering everyone here more than likely has the entirety of human knowledge in their pocket, I should imagine it wouldn’t be difficult to search this yourself, I’m sorry to sound shirty - actually, I’m not. Research it yourself. As for an anecdote - and yes, I agree, anecdotes are not evidence but they can prove relevant - I was born in 1989 and growing up in the 90s I remember news stories saying by the mid 2000s we’d all be dead. I saw them and heard them as a young boy - they stick in my head - they didn’t occur. 

Never had any such pessimistic outviews here at that time.

I think the pessimism in the UK stems from the great smog and it's aftereffects. But them saying that by the mid 2000's we would be all dead was ridiculous rubbish and certainly not based in reality unless their fear stemmed rather from a nuclear war with the USSR than from a climate crisis.
