41. If the models are accurate you can
The positions of the planets are in constant flux and change, yet we can with great accuracy predict future positions of planets. We've been able to do this sort of thing ever since Leibnitz invented calculus. We have excellent tools for predicting the future of a constantly-changing system, IF our models are correct.

Heck, we just had a lunar eclipse a few days ago. Who would have known if we did not have correct science to give us the heads-up?

A better question is how can one attribute specific changes to AGW with these levels of uncertainty and incompleteness of understanding? Without some form of religious faith, you can't.
