When you play computer games, your computer will predict whatever you program it to predict.
Scary predictions of the future climate get attention (and government funding).
Boring measurements of the present climate, and reconstructions of past climates, get yawns.
Common sense would say the next 45 years of global warming will probably be like the past 45 years of global warming since the mid-1970s -- pleasant and harmless.
But that's boring.
No one would listen to that prediction.
So why not predict a coming climate crisis -- a completely different kind of global warming in the next 45 years, than in the past 45 years?
That's exciting.
Which is followed by "do everything we say without question and you will save the planet"
This sounds devious, but it is working for the climate alarmists!
