"Predictions can inform this, however cannot absolutely replace accurate observations."
Observations are real but in the past, predictions are often not accurate (but that is along way from saying they are totally wrong) but help inform future choices - you can't equate the two.
My observation with a lot of the posts on here is that those who oppose the idea of CC fall into 2 main camps - the ones who don't believe its happening at all, and those who think it is happening but there is nothing we can or should do about it.
The vast bulk of the evidence, scientific opinion and personal experience tells me it IS happening. I can also understand why a lot of people feel their way of life, their comfort, their jobs, their hobbies are under threat if we adopt measures to try (and I say try as I doubt they'll work long term) but it looks like kicking the can down the road and leaving it to the future to sort out.
