Weakening predictions until they become unfalsifiable seems like an odd approach to being taken seriously.

Weakening predictions until they become unfalsifiable seems like an odd approach to being taken seriously.
- vasco 6mo agoSo make predictions about stuff that happens next year and be right about them. The problem is that strongly predicting what will happen in 30 years has always been wrong so far. My point is just focus on what you know. Anyone can say whatever about 30 years from now and ride that for the next 29.
- dTal 6mo ago>strongly predicting what will happen in 30 years has always been wrong so far No it hasn't, this is climate change denialist nonsense. In fact no less a figure than ExxonMobil correctly predicted the trajectory of global CO2 levels and corresponding increase in warming as far back as the 1970s and their predictions remain accurate today.
