My chunk of the planet was suppose to be underwater 20 years ago, 15 years ago, 10 years ago, last year, in 3 years, and in 7 years. We are a naive species that does not understand climate or how and why it changes.

Without even asking where you are, I'm fairly confident that no one predicted it would be under water as a result of climate change 20 years ago.

Why do you think this is the case? You should double check your sources.

The 1972 and 1982 UN conference on the environment. You're right, it was 50 years ago.
Please cite the study in question that called for that much sea level change by 2020.
I never said it was a study. Politicians, movies by Al Gore, the 1972 and 1982 UN conference on the environment.

How about a study on studies not being reliable? https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16060722/

Why are you treating politicians as an authoritative source on climate science?
