Or, to put it differently, you may find it
useful to think like an editor while writing short stories, but I wouldn't start a short story to
force this
kind of critical thinking on yourself.
As you also point out, that
kind of linear trend is very unlikely to be
useful much past a couple
of decades which is where the trajectory
of forcings we choose as a society will really make the difference.
Where this
kind of approach is
useful is in assessing shorter decadal trends where variability dominates
forcing.
Given the uncertainties that exist in such
kinds of preliminary studies, I believe it is more
useful to point out that climate on decadal timescales may be quite different from that expected only considering external radiative
forcing (as in the IPCC).
