I mean, it's both true in a sense (nobody can predict the future; how can you know we're not accidentally going to create paradise on earth with all that CO2 and methane?), but also a fairly pithy insight. With detailed records of the past via ice cores, today's climate is unprecedented. We're reasonably certain climate change is a bad thing. Very thinky and educated people have spent a long time looking into it. Oh look! Here comes a columnist who has observed that all those scientists can't predict the future! Checkmate, nerds!!!
