That's trusting naivety considering they don't even take clouds into account, let alone solar cycle predictions. <I'm sure they take the effects of the multitude of oceanic currents into account. >

Never mind multitudes. How about just one? The Gulf Stream.

Sequestering CO2 at the bottom of the ocean is good enough for any human purposes for the next 300 years. But ocean circulation is measured in hundreds of years. 1,500 years for full circulation.

You can probably imagine that human population, technology and a lot more besides will be totally different 1000 years from now, or even just 100 years from now when you consider the amazing differences in just the last 100 years when few of the human population were doing other than subsistence time-honoured agricultural lifestyles.
