    Well, if they predicted a temperature increase during the next 20 years, and it actually gets cooler, the 'theory' will be thoroughly falsified.

    The predictions are theories.
    And indeed bad predictions, as the models are, as I many times already have pointed out, calibrated on existing data, while trying to 'predict' not-yet-existing data. Every mathematician with a basic understanding of modeling can tell you that.
    As with stock markets: "Results from the past are no guarantee of results in the future."

    When asked what would happen to England when Queen Elizabeth II would die, she allegedly answered: "Nothing, the country will just go on."
    So, no, not really 'national security'.
    Note however the 'alleged' part. :)

    It wasn't a case of 'national security'.
    It would only involve a handful of passengers falling out of the sky.
    The state was nowhere at risk.
