One thing about long term predictions..............is that the smart (or should I say clever) guys will make them far enough out that no one will remember when they actually come to pass. So yah, forecasting weather events 89 years out ought to suffice.

Speaking for my no count part of the world, during my farming career, the bad ones are 2000.......and 2011......and of course the 2018 fire year. The good ones are 94,95,96,97,98,99..........and 2017. Those 90s early in my tenure were awesome..........but falsely led me to believe that I could grow pivot irrigated corn with almost no water. That 2000 year hurt me very bad financially and certainly knocked me off my pedestal. Looking back it probably was just another great life learning lesson.
