<p>maybe a longer version later</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{hdr/claim|Nobody can predict the future.}}<br /> ==About==<br /> This claim is most commonly used to argue against [[global warming]] predictions, with the implied conclusion that we shouldn't be worrying about what a few Cassandras (a.k.a. 97% of climate scientists) are saying because they &quot;don't know&quot; what will really happen.<br /> ==Reality==<br /> This is such a transparently silly argument that it's hardly worth addressing, but just so we don't have to keep rehashing this:<br /> <br /> '''Our lives depend on making accurate judgements about uncertainties. When all the available evidence points strongly to a particular prediction, it would be idiotic to act as if the future was no more certain than a coin-flip.'''</div>
