Yes, because we can't pinpoint the EXACT rate of warming or the EXACT level the oceans will rise by the year 2100 we should just ignore it completely.

Are you SERIOUSLY giving us a "rolling your eyes" icon just because scientists can't pinpoint these specifics?

Let me turn this around on you: What if your doctor said, "Mark, you've been diagnosed with disease X. There are treatments you can take, but if you don't take them, you have approximately 6 to 18 months to live."

Would you give your doctor the mocking and dismissive: ? Or would you take steps to start the needed treatment?
