And these people can make mistakes or be biased. If we can't predict what the weather in our hometowns will be how can we predict how will the climate change?

You can't predict where a bubble will form when boiling water, but you can predict that the pot will get to over 100C.

But doesn't that depend on how large is the pot and how much energy you're putting into boiling it? Not to mention that you also need to know the environment in the which you're trying to boil the water. If you're trying to boil the water in the middle of arctic winter, can you predict that the pot will get to over 100C if you're using just a small camping stove? :)

If you drop a glass full of water, I can't predict the exact splash pattern. But I can sure tell you the floor's gonna get wet.
