Looking for some informed thoughts on the following article. Chiloe you seem to be fairly knowledgeable about this, what is your take.

Great Article. We have good empirical evidence that the atmosphere is warming. We seem to have a reasonable argument that there's an anthropogenic component to it. What we don't have is an idea of what it will mean in terms of weather, etc. in the future. We've never been very good at predicting the future, especially where weather is concerned, and it's only been very recently that we've even tried climate.

I, personally, don't trust the predictive models. Predictions of either catastrophe or of nothing but good are raw speculation without any concrete support. We'll have to wait and see.
