I clicked on a few "Snowfalls are now just a thing of the past" is about English snowfalls, and it is true that we don't have heavy snowfall, not sure why this is a failed prediction, it's more of a statement of fact.
Some of these other predictions aren't necessarily falsified.
Peak oil may have already occurred. The fact that we have to resort to offshore drilling shows the low hanging fruit have already been taken.
Another example of a debatable prediction is "Fifty Million Climate Refugees by the Year 2020" - this is something that environmental groups claim is a correct prediction as they attribute certain current wars (e.g. Syrian Civil War) to have been caused by droughts caused by climate change.
Some of these predictions were not made by scientists or were clearly just meant as a slogan to galvanise action - e.g.
