Some of them were just plain wrong like Elrich's prediction being unable to feed a several billion leading to mass starvation in the 70s, or the the population bomb predictions.
Basically there is ZERO accountability to making batshit insane predictions. So one is much better off as an alarmist than as a skeptic -- alarmism draws attention/funding.
But we did get an interesting movie out of the fake population bomb hysteria: Soylent Green.
