What is the explanation for the dozens of predictions by so called experts and scientists of doom that have failed to materialize?
Philip S,
There is no explanation to the phenomenon of simple-minded academics & indoctrination by these insipid.

Heat waves killing thousands upon thousands of people earlier this century, is that a catastrophe?
On a weekly basis there are parts of the world where rain bombs inundate communities killing people; destroying homes, cars and infrastructure. Or, people are lost through mud slides, catastrophe?
Or, hurricanes/typhoons/cyclones ripping apart areas; New Orleans is still recovering; catastrophe?
Farmers committing suicide as their farms are hit by drought, catastrophe?

In the past, if you had read the science, you would understand that what we are experiencing now had been forecast to happen many decades into the future.

There are media outlets that provide an extremely poor coverage of anything to do with climate change.

Please provide references to the contrary.

Electricity prices have gone up through privatisation of energy sources.

To fully understand the hostility on this subject, you need to imagine a blank page with a big black line drawn down the middle, from top to bottom.
On the left side (say), are all the technical arguments for and against climate change; on the right side of the line are the social consequences of reactions to the former.
The hostility comes from the right hand side of the page: Those ignored by those who inflict the pain.

Charlie Veron is a very credible source of information on the subject of ocean stress from climate change. I believe him. Especially since I've spent a great proportion of my life under it, in it, on it and generally absorbed by it. I see the picture and it is not a good one.

But I argue, outside climate change as a problem, is man made destruction of the environment. Pollution is the worst offender. Huge volumes of sewer are dumped daily into it. I noticed Gladys Berejiklian praising her Governments efforts for cleaning up Sydney stormwater outlets yesterday; what she failed to mention, were the thirty outlets dumping Sydney sewer into the harbour.
Overfishing, illegal fishing. Government subsidised fishing. Chinese shark fin soup swallowing a hundred million sharks PA, Government subsidised sewer outlets up and down the coast.
All of the above is a pre-catastrophe.

People's view on climate change, depends on the individual focus.

ant,
I suppose from a human point of view it is. From an animal or natural point of view it's simply part of the evolutionary cycle. SFA humans can do about it unless of course they're willing to curb their excesses & consumerism. Until they do they should just shut up & deal with reality.

ant quote "In the past, if you had read the science, you would understand that what we are experiencing now had been forecast to happen many decades into the future." Sorry to disappoint you but they have been happening for decades in the past as well.
If an event has been occurring regularly in the past it does not take a genius to predict it will happen in the future.

Quote "On a weekly basis there are parts of the world where rain bombs inundate communities killing people; destroying homes, cars and infrastructure. Or, people are lost through mud slides, catastrophe?"
When idiots clear the hillsides above there houses for firewood etc you get a mudslide that is not climate change that is an idiot with an axe or chainsaw.

ant try answering this one, "What is the explanation for the dozens of predictions by so called experts and scientists of doom that have failed to materialize?"

a much more serious problem than climate events is that ant and others truly believe such nonsense.
