I could equally ask, how do you falsify the theory of 'things continue to be fairly ok'. I'm not trying to be facetious.

I'm not sure absolute falsification is meaningful with this kind of prediction. We only have one system, very hard to falsify.

We can falsify elements of evidence which suggest one planetary state over another. That's about it.

Then it's not science.

Whether or not an activity is science does not affect the need to take action.
Well, yes, it does, or we'll lurch from one imaginary crisis to the next.
