I notice that almost all climatologists made predictions that were subsequently confirmed.
So what? There were predictions for cooler as well. Those failed. Why would we hold up one guesser who was on the winning side, in that his guess happened to be right?
I notice your claim is at odds with the claims of many as well
example: "Whether most scientists outside climatology believe that global warming is happening is less relevant than whether the climatologists do.
A letter signed by over 50 leading members of the American Meteorological Society warned about the policies promoted by environmental pressure groups. “The policy initiatives derive from highly uncertain scientific theories. They are
based on the unsupported assumption that catastrophic global warming follows from the burning of fossil fuel and requires immediate action. We do not agree.”
2 Those who have signed the letter represent the
overwhelming majority of climate change scientists in the United States, of whom there are about 60. McMichael and Haines quote the 1995 report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which is widely believed to “prove” that climate change induced by humans has occurred.
3 The original draft document did not say this. What happened was that the policymakers’ summary (which became the “take home message” for politicians) altered the conclusions of the scientists. This led Dr Frederick Seitz, former head of the United States National Academy of Sciences, to write, “In more than sixty years as a member of the American scientific community ... I have never witnessed a more disturbing corruption of the peer-review process than the events that led to this IPCC report.”

In 2012 the American Meteorological Society (AMS) surveyed its 7,000 members, receiving 1,862 responses. Of those, only 52% said they think global warming over the 20th century has happened and is mostly man-made (the IPCC position). The remaining
48% either think it happened but natural causes explain at least half of it, or it didn’t happen, or they don’t know. Furthermore,
53% agree that there is conflict among AMS members on the question.
So
no sign of a 97%
consensus."
In the lead-up to the Paris climate summit, massive activist pressure is on all governments, especially Canada’s, to fall in line with the global warming agenda and accept emission targets that could seriously harm our economy.

You're wrong about that. For example, James Hanson correctly predicted the warming climate about 30 years in advance, using nothing but CO2 emissions.
He attributed it to that. Others, with more recent knowledge, attribute to something else. Big deal. They might as well play pin the tail on the donkey. The one who pins it closest wins. The problem is that they are blind.
As you now realize, even in the 1970s, when climatology was still a new discipline, most of the researches predicted warming. And as you know, they were right. And the few who predicted cooling were proven wrong.
Then you admit some predicted other things. And even if some predicted it, the 'why' is what must be proven. Then we have the preachers of the new green religion flying in on jets to climate gatherings! Hypocrites as well as false prophets.
Which is what happened. The predicted warming trend is now an observed fact:
What happened is a warming trend. Why we don't know. We also had many of the experts saying the opposite would happen! That destroys all their credibility.
James Hanson tested that idea by predicting temperatures based on carbon emissions alone. And the results showed that he was right. It's not all there is to global temperature, of course. We just left a period of lowered solar output. Normally, temperatures would have dropped. But they only increased by a somewhat slower rate.
Tested? Show how? Ha
His model turned out to be remarkably accurate, considering the relatively small amount of data he had to work with.
Now they admit he was basing it on precious little.
“The greenhouse effect has been detected, and it is changing our climate now.
Those were the words of James Hansen, then the director of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies, to the U.S. Senate Energy committee on a sweltering June day in 1988. Thirty years on, the overwhelming consensus from scientists is that Hansen was right—and most would say that far too little has been done since to address the threat.
? Mentioning a greenhouse effect was detected means all his prophesies based on precious little are true as well as all other prophesies from climate prophets?? No Was there ever a greenhouse effect in history? What are the causes? Proof?
We need more than someone noting or guessing a trend! We need to know why. And no matter the reasons why, the end is already prophesied in the bible by God. Of all the things man needs to worry about, farting cows is really not on the top of the list.
