If you read the IPCCs first assessment report[1] (from 1990/92) and look at the business-as-usual scenario, it was pretty much spot on.

Since the IPCCs assessment is pretty much the (conservative) consensus of the climate research community, I'm going to equate this with "almost all of them came true".

That's the depressing thing. We knew what was coming. We know what is coming next. We just choose to ignore it, because something decades down the line really doesn't matter this election cycle/fiscal quarter.
