This is central to human's larger more persistent problems.
Humans do not see, nor are they interested in, patterns which extend beyond their lifetime. Also since they have finite life spans it is difficult for them to start (and complete) tasks which must be continued for a thousand years.  |

By Dr. David M.W. Evans
"We check the main predictions of the climate models against the best and latest data. Fortunately the climate models got all their major predictions wrong. Why? Every serious skeptical scientist has been consistently saying essentially the same thing for over 20 years, yet most people have never heard the message.
