There are much newer wrong predictions as well. Point is though, that you can't find a correct prediction.
Most predictions are generalized statements like "the world as a whole will be hotter" or "extreme weather will be more common". I'd bet good money that you could verify both of those predictions using only your own personal experience and that of the people you know. You're not being honest with yourself if you say the climate isn't changing at all. If your point is that predicting the future is hard and therefore there's no point in trying to understand what's happening then that's an idiotic point of view that shouldn't require a rebuttal.
I can tell from the way you're speaking that you have your mind made up and none of these responses will make any difference to you but they may help someone else reading them.
The funny thing is, with that sentiment, when the AMOC stops, the average temps are going to plummet.
I meant more specific predictions. But you also saw the predictions about global cooling.
