In 2020, data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration suggests a seven-day weather forecast by a [[meteorology|meteorologist]] could accurately predict the weather about 80 percent of the time.<ref>[https://www.mprnews.org/story/2020/01/02/forecast-models-keep-hinting-at-subzero-air-ahead How accurate are forecast models 1 to 2 weeks ahead?]</ref><ref>[https://www.wral.com/how-accurate-are-weather-forecasts/19645159/#:~:text=Longer%2Drange%20forecasts%20are%20less,90%20percent%20of%20the%20time.

The accuracy of the long-range forecasts of climate scientists' that are 10 years or decades ahead of time are of dubious value (See: [[Limitations of science]]).  Environmentalists have a history of making alarmist statements that do not come to fruition (see: [https://www.aei.org/carpe-diem/50-years-of-failed-doomsday-eco-pocalyptic-predictions-the-so-called-experts-are-0-50/ 50 years of failed doomsday, eco-pocalyptic predictions; the so-called ‘experts’ are 0-50], American Enterprise Institute).
