Well, yes, we do know a great deal about this subject. We know the ice caps and glaciers are going bye-bye. We know that the country agents in most of the US have had to change their recommendations about what can be planted where, because of the general warming.
However, as to what the results will be in five or ten years, we really don't know. Most of the predictions for the warming I heard in the '60's for 2100, have already happened. The increasing acidity of the ocean was a surprise. The CH4 release by Arctic Ocean clathrate has been a surprise, particulary since we did not even know they existed in the '60's.
The real problem here is not that the 'alarmists' have overstated the problem, thus far, the 'alarmists' have been far too conservative.
at one time there was alligators around the north pole
so obviously we have been ice cap free before
