I am now the official inventor of Cassandrafreude, the bitter pleasure of seeing things go wrong in exactly the way you predicted, but no one listened when it would have helped. See this NYt story. You have to scroll down past the first story on the rise of references to climate change in pop songs to get to the one on Cassandrafreude. Apparently, it has become popular with climate scientists (wonder why?)

I joke that I like to invent a new word everyday. But very few succeed where I merely aspire.

I'm sorry you had to invent that word but very happy to see it getting broader usage, sometimes even with attribution.

As a self-identified Cassandra I'm feeling this one. Thanks for the new word.
