Science has found next to no correlation with predictions that go out 5 years or more. We currently do not have the ability to make projections out that far. In contrast our ability to predict 6 months out is quite accurate (among "super forecasters"). However, "super forecasters" are not "experts" because the act of being famous and being effective at getting TV ratings is counter productive at being a good forecaster.

Here is the problem, all of the existing leaders are not responding to the evidence concerning climate change, as a result we are getting idiots who get a soapbox. Imagine what happens if one of them actually gets elected president.

We have a whole handful of brilliant Democratic Senators who have embraced the Green New Deal. There is no way we can discard AOC and Beto as idiots.

History has shown us that horrific revolutions can take place all based on lies and deceptions. Today, we have a majority of the electorate who willingly believe anything from those who hate Trump.

For example, contrary to all evidence of history, Millennials now believe that Islam is preferable to the Judeo-Christian religion. This, coupled with Islam's rejection of Jews, Christians, gay rights, women's rights, and endless other liberties that America provides, proves that idiocy is far more widespread than just a few Democratic politicians.

Which millennial believe this? Are you talking about the girl who joined ISIS, and now wants to return saying she ruined her life?

I teach HS and the students in my classes are overwhelmingly Evangelical Christians.

The Millennials who are given the mic to speak for other Millennials.

The ones who get polled. Do you want their names? You have to ask the pollers.

A false prophet is a prophet for hire. Just like lawyers, the ones that make the big bucks are not because they tell the truth, it is because they can make a criminal look innocent.

Polls are expensive to do right, but who is going to check. The people who pay for these, it isn't to know the truth, its to give the illusion that the truth is what they want it to be.

Since the pollers are not going to give me their names I give it the credibility it deserves and file it in the circular file.

This describes scientists success in creating a computer model that accurately models climate change during the last 3 million years (Quaternary period). This is a milestone in demonstrating that we do understand the factors involved in Earth's climate on the macro scale. It is hindsight so we can accurately grade the result, and even if someone argues that this model is specific to the last 3 million years it should still be very useful in extrapolating the next 100 years.

This report supports my contention that policies that try to avoid Climate change indicate a lack of understanding. We cannot avoid the hurricane, it is time to figure out how to ride it out.

Insect apocalypse --

Rough estimate of a loss of 75% of insects over the last 50 years. That qualifies as a mass extinction.

The predators are most vulnerable to a decline in population and to insecticides. When the predators die off the result is you have an increase in herbivores even though the total number of insects has declined. This is known as a "plague". So one of the consequences we can expect from an insect extinction is great plagues of insect herbivores.
