Conspiracy Theories that came true?

[malumbu]

Thinking about the talk about conspiracy theories on the East Dulwich issues got me thinking, are there any that actually proved to be true?

A fun thread, but here is my starter. Winter '63 was one of the coldest in memory. At the time some said it was due to nuclear testing. Ha ha said the experts. Later it was found that particles sent up in to the upper atmosphere did have an effect on the weather.

As I said a fun thread.

It was, in fact, the coldest winter (actually 1962-3) since 1740 - according to the Central England Temperature (CET) record extending back to 1659.

I think he meant the winter was cold (I remember my parents talking about the cold of 1963) but we denied it was due to nuclear testing ..... but it was

Interesting, I thought it was due to particles in the upper atmosphere. When Krakatoa exploded that caused a bit of a nuclear winter. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcanic_winter

I had a teacher once who had a theory on how CO2 was being mopped in the atmosphere. We even had to learn an equation as he postulated that there was an undiscovered free radical doing this. It wasn't a conspiracy theory it was bollox
