Chicken Littler

A person who claimed in 2000 that "the science is settled" and if we didn't cut CO2 emissions to zero the polar ice would be melted by 2020 and we'd all be under water.
Joe Repub: "The science is settled! If we don't stop using oil and go vegan our coastal cities and island nations will be GONE by 2020! It'll be the end of civilization!"

2024 rolls around, we're using more oil and eating more meat than ever, yet the ice caps haven't melted, our coastal cities and island nations are still there, and civilization marches on.

Joe Repub: "The science is evolving!"

Me: "You sound like a Chicken Littler."

Chicken Little Syndrome

Every time someone believes the hype behind an apocalyptic theory that will end the world, and the hysteria that ensues. It is an old cumulative tale about a chicken (or a hare in an early version) who believes the world is coming to an end. The phrase "The sky is falling" has passed into the English language as a common idiom indicating a hysterical or mistaken belief that disaster is imminent.
