Ok. It's like this.
You can't predict if Ichiro is going to get a hit on a certain pitch, but having looked at his stats over a period of seasons, you can predict that he's going to hit over .320 for the season, and probably over .330 for his career. Sure, he'll have some bad days and seasons, but you can predict the overall trend based on previous data spanning the seasons. He's a good hitter even if he struck out 4 times last night. The trend is established by the historical data. And not by what happened in the past few games.
So could you denial freaks please stop expecting scientists to predict "each" hurricane, each day, each month?
Hope the digressive sports reference will help you further understand trends, statistics, and data as they relate to global warming.
You should have learned all of this by the 8th grade anyway.
