Roger Revelle, a scientist born in Seattle on March 7, 1909[1].
The record says he made extreme claims about how many would die in lakes of fire by 2000.
In 1968, Revelle made bug-eyed claims about the number of lakes of fire we would all die in by the year 2000. He had links to the Rockefeller Foundation through grant funding and a funding line via the Keeling Curve launch, but these do not establish what the grant funded, that Rockefeller funded the Keeling Curve itself, or that Rockefeller directed his research or conclusions.
It shows how a scientist's alarming predictions can be tied to major funders, even when the exact influence is unclear.
