> It's a shame politicians can't be kept accountable tens of years from now. It would be great that if in 25 years it turns out global warming does indeed cause huge problems for humans, we could sue the politicians that took irresponsible risks with the environment. Now they can just focus on short term gains, and ignore all the long term side effects. This is a super interesting perspective.. but instead of only looking to the future, could we apply this to the past? aka Were there predictions about global warming in 2015, 2000, or earlier that drove policy that ended up being incorrect?
