What has been will be again,

what has been done will be done again;

there is nothing new under the sun. (NIV)

Quotes from NASA’s Earth Observatory pages about Alfred Wegener:

the international geological community’s reaction to Wegener’s theory was militantly hostile.

Wegener’s […] cogent and comprehensive work […] was impossible to ignore and ignited a firestorm of rage and rancor

most of the blistering attacks were aimed at Wegener himself, an outsider who seemed to be attacking the very foundations of geology.

Even though Wegener assembled many interlocking pieces of evidence to support his ideas, they were so radical that he was often ridiculed.

Because of this abuse,Wegener could not get a professorship at any German university.

In 1926 Wegener was invited to an international symposium in New York called to discuss his theory. Though he found some supporters, many speakers were sarcastic to the point of insult.

the merit of much […] of his supporting evidence was not widely recognized at the time.

As a result, most geologists eventually dismissed his theory as a fairy tale or “mere geopoetry.”

Past performance suggests any date between 2018 and 2091 as the year CO2-based CAGW (or CO2-CAGW) went the way of the dodo.
