I can't predict the cards in my next hand of blackjack, but I'm sure if I play all night the house will win in the end.

That's a pretty good analogy, but the question is: will you lose your bankroll in 20 minutes, or an hour, or 12 hours, or a week?
Climate models are doing the equivalent of trying to figure out when you're going to broke, which (although much easier than figuring what cards you will get) is still a tough question to answer.

It is yet another (and much easier) question whether we should be gambling with the habitability of the one and only planet available to us, especially when technological advances are beginning to offer a way out.
