I agree that it's lazy to just say "AGW" for any problem.
But I also think it's lazy to dismiss theories that point to AGW as a cause simply because no model predicted it in advance.
There are an infinite number of possible effects (including amphibian funguses), modeling each specific one and knock-on effects is an exercise in futility. It's much more reasonable to simply be responsible about the attribution of any effects we do observe, and only focus on modeling the most devastating predicted effects of AGW rather than every potential one (including amphibian funguses).
