Edit: I don’t recall any predictions of imminent disaster that would occur at the turn of the century. All predictions I recall were always to occur well into the present century. Your question also reads as a rhetorical one. Your post came across to me as one that (confidently?) purports that climate scientists don’t do better than random chance.
