Nobody is suggesting you “schit [your] pants.” The point of this isn’t to scare you, but to share information about a new model that predicts new effects. Nobody ever said it was “the most accurate model that exists.”
But without even looking at or understanding the model (did you?), you’ve already written it off as “tarot reading.”
Certainly not the way I’d approach it, especially as the facts of the last decade or so (not models, but actual recorded data) indicate that the globe is definitely warming and sea levels are definitely rising and glaciers are definitely melting.
How do I know? Well, data, but also talking to experts in Iceland (as an example). All of them, every single one, without exception, agreed global warming was happening. Not all of them agreed as to why it was happening, but that it was is no longer a question at all. They are out on these glaciers all the time. They have data going back many decades. Time lapses of the changes in the glaciers over the last 50-100 years. There isn’t really a question, anymore, as to whether the globe is warming; it is.
What we do about that is entirely a different discussion, as is why it’s happening.
But, you know, facts suck in the face of conspiracy theories and “doubt at all costs,” I guess.
That’s my main issue with folks who show up and start yelling that we don’t know anything. We do. We know the globe is warming, significantly. Denying that solves nothing.
