I take exception to this: just because it hasn't happened yet means nothing. And why are weather patterns changing in the exact ways predicted, only at a faster rate and much sooner than predicted? End of life as we know it- ask Pakistanis about that, or people displaced as their islands and low-lying coastal land is now underwater.

Of course, disasters sell- news organizations are in business because people are willing to pay and no one wants to pay to hear good news, right? Remember OJ and the airtime that silly stunt got? The existence of "Reality TV" that has nothing to do with "reality"? People don't want to hear bad news. But really big floods, hurricanes, tornadoes in December of all months- they make the news because of the mass damage and death gets viewers.

Sunny days and "normal" days (which has changed dramatically just in my lifetime) don't get news coverage or writers doing articles on them. To say something is ten years away and always ten years away is to claim all is well with the world, no need to change your wasteful ways, folks. It's all a lie, anyway PS: to those who've lost homes, livelihoods, lives and loved ones: stop complaining because it really didn't happen to you and you guys suffering and dying isn't really happening, so buck up- you'll be fine.

I don't disagree with you on AI but to use Climate Change, which is real and can be seen by anyone who opens their eyes to the future of AI is an invalid analogy and may lead some people into thinking that what the industrialists have been honest all along- climate change is a hoax being used by scientists and researchers to get rich without mentioning that there's no real money in research, nor are there hundreds of thousands of people engaged in a decades long conspiracy to take away our privileged way of life.

Comparing the future of AI to Existing and worsening faster than expected climate change is throwing out a big, fat, strawman as an argument and detracts from your message.

And the message you want to get across is too important to muddle up with false analogies.
