That's why, I think, this isn't a big deal yet - because it hasn't affected us. For many, scientific prediction is like ancient prophesy. We're not listening because we're all so comfortable and we don't care for some modern Noah coming along and telling us that our whole world is about to drown in shit, chaos, and death.

I read once that prophets never meant to tell the future, but that they were warning us of what might happen, so in a way, they wanted to be wrong.
