These are similar to the "facts" bandied about in the 1970's by Paul Erlich in the "Population Bomb". Every generation some people seem to believe disaster is in the future. Tell you what, lets make a deal. Check back in in 30 years and let's see what's up.
I would actually be willing to put it down to the fact that our civilization has been Christian for so long. It permanently lodged the idea in our collective consciousness that the apocalypse is just around the corner and God will judge those who don't conform to His Law.
