Except it hasnt been "reliably wrong" in fact the average of all the models from 20 years ago about global warming have been far more accurate than we could have hoped for.
"They told us"... I already posted what science told us, and it was extraordinarily accurate... now if some other "they" other than the consensus of mainstream scientists told you something else, then so be it. Listen to scientists and not random morons.
What you meant to say is, like always, main stream media did a piss poor job of explaining the scientific consensus... doesnt change the fact that the consensus at the time was correct.
