Limits to Growth https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Limits_to_Growth https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Limits_to_Growth didn't try to predict specifics so much as find trends, which they did, like overshoot and collapse, the counterintuitive effects of technology and innovation, the importance of population, goals, and values. Nonetheless, their Business As Usual model from 1972 is eerily accurate and it applies to more than just climate. This study https://sustainable.unimelb.edu.au/publications/research-papers/is-global-collapse-imminent https://sustainable.unimelb.edu.au/publications/research-pap... tracked predictions to 2014 and the Business As Usual model continues with reasonable accuracy. That's not good news for its predictions for the next few decades, at least not if you like food and a stable human population.
