Luckily no one is able to predict most anything beyond 4 years in the future. Ask any economist or epidemiologist.

This is false.

We have been accurately modeling climate change for over 50 years now.

Also, epidemiologist have been predicting a coronavirus outbreak specifically for about 10 years, and a larger global pandemic for about 100.

You can choose to ignore science if you want, but that doesn't mean people havent been warning us.

So they have been wrong for about 100 years. Great record.

I predict the sun will run out of steam and we are all gonna die. Furthermore, some volcanos will erupt too.

And we have not been 'accurately predicting the climate for 50 years' : about 50 years ago, there were worries about a new ice age.
