Yes, The Predictions Were Accurate


The article is short on specifics, but the fact it appears in USA Today illustrates the extent to which the climate emergency is starting to make appearance in the media.
"What the models correctly told us 20 years ago is that if we continued to add fossil fuels at an increasing rate to the atmosphere, we'd see an increasing range of consequences, including a decline in Arctic sea ice, a rise in sea levels and shifts in precipitation patterns," Weather Underground meteorologist Robert Henson told USA TODAY. Overall, we're running quite close to the projections made in 2000 for carbon dioxide concentration, global temperature and sea level, Henson said.

Maybe in 50 more years the general public will realize that in 2019, we had all the information we needed to save the planet.
