Nice video, WR, but it doesn't address the mispredictions made in the past regarding "global warming," such as the now debunked "hockey stick" graph. One example is near the end, when Tyson DeGrasse mentions an effect of "global warming," which was the warming of the oceans. That could explain why we haven't seen the "hockey stick" prediction come to fruition (namely the absorption of thermal energy by the oceans), but that explanation is also the result of hindsight, not proof that climate change is "easy to predict." That's the problem with the religion of climate change. They look at every extreme weather event that happens and say, "See? That's global warming!" But their predictions of the future are about as accurate as someone predicting the weather by rolling two six-sided dice. Hence when Bill Nye, the so-called "science guy" predicted after Katrina that we would see more hurricanes, he was making that prediction based on hindsight, but that prediction turned out to be wrong. Yet you won't see him taking any responsibility for missed predictions, because you know, that could give ammunition to those oh-so-evil "climate change deniers." Tenchusatsu
