    When I was a kid, they said entire California would end up in the sea within a few years, since it’s on a earthquake fault line.

    That was 1990. :)

      Still don’t understand how people continue to “trust” the people who have a long history of predictions that never occurred. It always reminds me of a guy who pays to get “the special picks” for an NFL game. And for years the special picks guy hasn’t ever won a NFL bet

        People trust it because scientists make a model. They don’t think about that the model makes many assumptions and if any assumption is wrong, it fails.
