The Polar bears stubbornly refuse to go extinct, indeed the buggers are thriving, the glaciers don't appear to be disappearing, sea levels have stayed boringly level, we haven't been subsumed by hordes of desperate climate refugees, the polar ice caps haven't melted, the Great Barrier Reef is still with us, we haven't fought any resource wars, oil hasn't run out, the seas insist on not getting acidic, the rainforest is still around, islands have not sunk under the sea, the ozone holes haven't got bigger, the world hasn't entered a new ice age, acid rain appears to have fallen somewhere that can't quite be located, the Gulf Stream hasn't stopped, extreme weather events have been embarrassingly sparse in recent years and guess what?
