What surprises me about climate change is that they're somehow managed to show causality between one non-repeatable event (people starting to burn fossil fuels) and one other event (global warming). Holy cow causality is notoriously hard to confirm when we can't manipulate the causes. When the cause and effect each only happen once, it's surely almost impossible. I'm suspicious of that extreme confidence.
