Global warming / climate change

People vastly overestimate science’s ability to predict the future, especially when they often can’t get the weather right, right now.

But it’s more than that. People who study the climate change don’t get funding if there’s no problem for them to study. Their job necessitates there being a problem. It’s a conflict of interest.
