We have an exhibit here on 'Fear' with video loop is about the 'killer bees' (among other things)... remember how we were all going to be dead from bee attacks by now? (exhibit is 10 years old)
I am now remembering a PBS show, probably Zoom, where there was a "crayon animated" segment that all trees in the world are gone. They find one tree and dissect it to send around the world to grow new trees.

I also remember the fear in the early 1970s that we were headed into a new ice age.

Super Friends (cartoon) had an episode where aliens were adjusting the earth's orbit to make it warmer for them/
