We also can’t predict the path of a cue ball making eight bounces on a pool table, but we can calculate the paths of comets.

There’s lots of examples like that. In the case of the climate, it’s very simple:

1. CO2 can be shown to trap heat in atmosphere.

2. The human race can be shown to have added significant amounts of CO2 to the atmosphere.

3. The temperature can be shown to have risen, exaclty as you’d expect from the increased CO2.

What you’re saying is basically equivalent to saying that because we can’t tell where the hurricane will go, the hurricane doesn’t exist. It’s grade-A stupid.
