> There are a few flaws in that. Mainly heatwaves and floods. The main issue when people try to be credible by saying "This is what will happen!!!" is that the silent majority (that's 95% of the population) just waits and see. Then, when it doesn't happen, we assume the rest of their divine gift to foretell the future is also dogshit like every single fortune teller to ever live before them.

It's always the same thing, people want money, they create a need (saving the planet for example) and then they try to sell it to the masses in the hopes of picking up a few useful idiots that will follow them around like cult members. Look to the past and you'll see charlatans have always existed so you may avoid them in the future.
If you're gonna live with technology from 50 years ago, buy a time machine and stay there forever. If you're gonna live in today's era, listen to science. Because it can very well save your life.
