Yes - any proposition may justly face later ridicule. Let's all bear that in mind. Lemmings are hard to investigate, so the suicide myth was able to live quite a long time, however the lemming situation is fairly straight forward. By contrast, the climate is one of the most complex things humans have tried to understand, and early predictions about how humans may interact with the climate are bound to be wrong in some degree. I guess we'll find out which side of the climate debate deserves ridicule in twenty or so years.
