You are either misreading my post, or somehow missed the fact that the sudden onset of the extreme weather associated with AGW had been predicted by most organizations looking into it - but not for roughly another decade. Again (and for the last time) there were some scientists who got it right, but they were ignored, ridiculed, or self-censored themselves. Once the actual, immediate trend became clear there was plenty of "We knew this was going to happen, but really didn't think it would be this soon." That was largely because the prediction models tended to be programmed with...optimistic...data about both actual conditions at the time, and rosy projections about oil consumption declining and mitigation efforts getting underway worldwide. Many of those models DID have this outcome as the "worst case scenario" but people like to look at the middle range of possible outcomes, not the extremes. Now why don't you argue with someone who actually believes something substantially different from you...?
The last decade of climate change has been an excellent illustration of the adage "The Devil is in the details."
