Translating the above to climate science, if you tell me that in 100 years earth inhabited by your
children is going to hell in a handbasket, because our most complicated models built with all those
horrendously complicated equestions you can find in math, show that the global temperatures will be 10 deg
higher and icecaps will melt, sea will invade land, plant / animal ecosystem will get whacked out of order causing food supply to be badly disrupted, then I, without much climate science expertise, can easily ask you the following questions and scrutinize the results: a) where can I see that your model's futuristic predictions about global temp, icecaps, eco system changes in the past have come true, even for much shorter periods of time, like say 20 years, before I take this for granted and make radical changes in my life?
