The Times, 1894: “In 50 years, every street in London will be buried under nine feet of manure.”

The New York Times, 2020:
"Sea-level rise could displace as many as 13 million coastal residents by 2060, including 290,000 people in North Carolina."
"By 2040, according to federal government projections, extreme water shortages will be nearly ubiquitous west of Missouri."
"By 2070, some 28 million people across the country could face Manhattan-size megafires."
