But the point was: It is wrong to suggest that real - world development - related policy decisions are routinely based on very precise predictions of future problems, and that we can not act on climate change because the models do not meet these alleged standards.

If our use of the IPCC's own predictions of future CO2 growth on the A2 scenario, and its own equation for converting those predictions to equilibrium temperature, leads to predictions of temperature response that are different from those of the IPCC, then it may be that we are doing the sums wrong, in which case a true scientist would point out what we are doing wrong.
