This is key, obviously. Projection - they're guessing.

Impossible to project something as complex as climate change 20 years out when they can't even predict/project climate, weather, disturbances, (ie hurricanes) even today.

While predicting the weather is difficult, it's not difficult to predict the consequences of not having a tight roof on your house.

Maybe we should all raise the CO2 to double the atmospheric concentrations in our homes to a whopping 2% or even better quarduple it to 4%... that should heat up the house real nice... I hope you have warm coats...

Cheaper lesson would be to sit in a real greenhouse with the vents shut on a sunny day.

Our "roof" has a lot more variables than just CO2.

Try it with the vents closed and you'll find out. Ignorance is bliss.

Perhaps Gore can convince you that there are really big sky vents hidden in the clouds that've gotten stuck closed due to acid rain. He can make a movie showing a dead bird with broken wing that got caught up in it.
