The phrase
"climate predictions" refers to the forecasts or guesses made by scientists about how the Earth's climate will change in the future. It involves studying patterns and trends to anticipate things like temperature shifts, extreme weather events, and long-term climate patterns. These predictions help us understand and prepare for potential impacts on our environment and society.
