it’s based on models. those models rely very heavily, on assumptions
about things like the atmospheres ability to absorb pollution, effect of ocean currents, etc. the more the
model relies on assumptions, the more speculative it is. which explains why their predictions have been so inaccurate. i’m not saying we don’t have a problem to deal with, but let’s be honest about how exact the science is.

you want a model that tells
you how many 65 year olds will
live to age 80, or how many times a
coin will
land on heads if you flip
it 10,000
times, that model is based on hard science. climate change models? not nearly as much hard science.
