When I was a kid it was acid rain and the hole in the ozone layer.

Thankfully, thanks to legislation (reducing SO2 emissions for the acid rain, the Montreal Protocol banning the production of CFC's and co on the other) those issues have been resolved.

What predictions of doom have you heard from your childhood that are still a thing? I mean climate change is still a thing, and it seems to take a lot more investments to resolve it.
