  Because historians work on different time scales. Stuff from only a few decades ago is still politics, not history.

    That's quite the non-sequitur. What relationship are you implying between this supposition and the scientific facts of climate change? Would your argument change if it were astronomers telling you an asteroid would hit in 5 years?
