Is that true? And assuming it is, the model was still wrong as an assumption of business as usual is part of that model. But I don't see how any of that could have prevented a glacier from melting by 2023 or the world from being "doomed" by 2018.
- mrmanner 4y agoThe model didn’t _assume_ business as usual. It explained the consequences of business as usual.
- ch4s3 4y agoI'm being charitable by saying "model". Greta was just making shit up when claiming the world would be doomed in 5 years back in 2018. But models don't explain what will happen in the future, they predict and they bake in a lot of assumptions. Any model that predicted an ice free Glacier National Park by 2023 was simply wrong, and it was doubly wrong to post signage that stated the prediction as fact.
