How is it possible to build an accurate computer model to make this prediction?

But Trump says it's fake news! Seriously, it's going to be a hard uphill battle to convince people this is real and they should vote for policies to fix these issues, rather than keep voting for billionaires.

I'd like to remind people reading this that are concerned about it that there is a LOT you can do to improve the world. If many reduced their energy consumption and material waste there would be a measurable reduction in CO2. Buy things only when you need them, reuse or find a new home for things before discarding them. Keep you tires inflated, buy efficient vehicles. Improve home insulation, consider a heat pump heating and cooling system when the time comes, etc. Don't let this be a problem because you can't get government to force your neighbors to do it, take the initiative to lead by example.
