There has always been a big market for nutjobs to predict the last days of Planet Earth, but author Richard Noone had to eat something fierce when the predictions made in his 5/5/2000: Ice: The Ultimate Disaster book failed to happen in spectacular fashion. Noone believed that the planet was in for another Ice Age and stated that the polar ice caps would get larger over the course of the 20th Century, culminating in a worldwide ecological disaster. Oh, and it also had something to do with the pyramids. Needless to say, global warming kind of shot a hole through his crackpot theory.
