To me it seems, even if we were plopped down into the moment and everything is again exactly as it was, that from that instant forward things would change. Nothing would play out the same way, and the farther we moved along the timeline from that point, the more things would be different. Five years after you arrive, it's a very different world from the one you knew before, or read about. It's chaos theory.
So, the idea that one could shape the future, by stopping expected future events is silly, apart from the immediate future around the instant you appeared, but good luck remembering any of that, if you were even alive then before. Everything will spin off in different directions on a second pass, nothing will play out the same exact way.
The really big things like the climate issue and the eventual fall of USSR are still going to happen, but no one will listen to you, same as today. There might still be a big terrorist attack around 2001, but exactly what and where will be unknown to you, but more likely it will be years before or after, or not at all. Lottery numbers won't be the same, there won't be the same companies on the stock market. The knowledge about the future-past you experienced is useless.
The only thing that helps is your knowledge about life's universal principals, and a better understanding what you do and don't want for yourself. Your life will be different, because you'll be able to make better choices, but everything else will be different too.
