An instance? We now have decades worth of these "instances" along with the fact most of the successive years in the twenty-teens were "the hottest year on record." Yet I still hear people claiming "See? None of their predictions came true! Can't trust the experts." What really gets me is the fact billions of people are perfectly willing to believe in gods that they can't see and for which there's never been a shred of evidence, and yet many people, often the same people, don't believe in something they can actually see with their own two eyes! Can anybody with a background in psychology explain this phenomenon?
