The sky is falling science scare tactics have been proven to be false in so many instances.

Since they are so numerous, name 3 in the last 30 years.
I can name 2 major discoveries by atmospheric chemists that lead to very positive changes in society off the top of my head.
(1) The link between CFCs and the ozone hole. Now CFCs are banned and the ozone hole is making a recovery.
(2) The link between NOx (tailpipe) emissions and ozone (smog) formation. Los Angeles has much cleaner air now, although it is still pretty bad due to geographical reasons.
In both these cases, interested industries (such as DuPont with CFCs) lead a smear campaign full of lies and distortions to cast doubt on the science... as you are doing now.
