As a climate change skeptic

I want a curated list of failed or vague climate predictions

So I can maintain cognitive resonance.

Do tell. What part of it are you skeptical about? That the greenhouse effect is real? That temperatures are rising? That extreme weather events will continue to increase in frequency and severity? That raising temperatures are melting the tundra and releasing more methane causes a feedback loop? That ice sheets are receding all over the world?

These all seem to be well supported by facts. I’m curious about what the seed of your skepticism is, what planted it what previously cherished beliefs it supports.

I thought this was quite a good interview, summing the rational, skeptic position.
