What we're seeing now is, in some ways, worse than predictions from 20 years ago. And even now, the Trump administration is in full denial. But hey, given the lagging effects of CO2 and CH4 emissions, we're already locked into far more extreme changes. It's sad, but so it goes.

One thing I find somewhat galling is how the climate change denial rhetoric smoothly shifted from "climate change is a hoax," to "there's no evidence that climate change is caused by humans," once reality was clearly at odds with the former, without ever acknowledging the moving of goalposts. Presumably in a decade or two it will be, "No one could have seen this coming," with no acknowledgement of past discourse.
