I think the problem with any kind of prediction of Global Warming is that we simply don't have enough data to predict what will happen. We have probably around 400 years worth of temperature records (a lot, I know, but the planet is millions of years old, and aparantley, only the last 40 or 50 years of records can be considered to be accurate..

My point is that we don't really have a large enough set of data to base predictions on.
