From memory, and this was a while ago-
-Crichton argued (thinly veiled as a character arguing) that urban heat islands were causing global temperature stations to falsely overstate global warming- completely debunked
-Completely (and incompetently) missing the cooling effect of aerosol pollution
-he said Antarctica ice was growing using data only from a part of it. (what idiot does that??). Antarctica is OVERALL losing billions of tons of ice per year.
-He was dead wrong on his prediction for the level of warming in the 21st century. Had to look the exact number up just now, but Crichton predicted 0.8 for the 21st century. We're 26 years in and already at +0.6, and it's accelerating.
Inconvenient Truth got almost all the physics and overaching truths right. One to note for the present and future, given our reliance on agriculture and livestock, is the inescapable truth that a warming atmosphere holds more water vapor. This leads to both worsening of extreme precipitation as well as droughts. Water vapor, by the way, is a potent greenhouse gas, causing a feedback loop (more trapped heat = more water vapor = more trapped heat).
You said "none" of the timed predictions came true (a popular social media talking point), by the way, when some key ones did and will, like ice-free Arctic summers, the trajectory of CO2 accumulation, and breaking the temperature records set at the time in the 2000s.
You clearly know very little about climate science. Remember this post in the coming decades, because as bad as it is right now, it's going to get much worse. As an example, an enormous amount of irrigated agriculture is grown in the Southwest, like half of our grown produce and 10-15% of all our food, as well as livestock feed. Drought, the drying Colorado River, heavily depleted aquifers are all going to get much worse. Probably by the mid to late 2030s, the US will have to abandon a lot of farmland there, and there's going to be a heavy supply shock.
It's fairly clear that at this point, 3 degrees of global warming is much more likely than 2 degrees. Recall that 1.5 of warming was considered a critical goal.
The Earth will be fine by the way over the long term. There used to be palm trees in the Arctic. However, human civilization will not be okay.
