What's this?

You are wrong on both of your points.


First, it seems you do not understand science or the scientific method, so a crash course. In science as new information becomes available, you adapt your hypothesis. It's unlike a belief system where things are unchanging regardless of evidence.

That said, contrary to your belief, most climate models have not drastically changed over the past couple decades.

As far as Covid goes, the earlies predictions were worse scenarios if we did nothing and learned nothing. Since we've adapted and learned how to better treat the virus, things are getting better (notwithstanding the rosy predictions our government uses that previously predicted we'd top out at 60k deaths). Just a few weeks ago, almost 90% of people that went on ventilators died. I saw an article this week that said we're down to 40% because we've better learned how to use the ventilators against this disease.
