Global warming and the Great Disappointment

Excerpt from this post:
Time and again, the global warming faithful remind me of the Millerites of the 19th century. The Millerites were the followers of William Miller, a preacher who predicted that Jesus would return to earth in 1844 to begin the next stage of human existence. Clearly, that didn’t happen, though hundreds of thousands of people reported sold their homes and all their possessions in preparation for it. Miller’s embarrassment was called the Great Disappointment.

I can’t help but feel that, in coming years, the global warming alarmists (Gorites?) are headed for a “great disappointment” of their own. After all, the alarmists have been predicting pollution-induced doom for decades now, yet how many of their predictions have actually come true? How much has the reality of our climate and weather patterns over the last several years matched what they have told us it would be?
