Tell me again how "science" can tell us what the temperature will be in 2112.
In other news, an asteroid 110 yards wide, moving at 15 miles per second, came within 45,000 miles of hitting Earth. It would have struck with the energy of a 10 megaton nuclear bomb. Only detected a few hours before it flew by. Glad we're all still here. https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/scientists-stunned-by-city-killer-asteroid-that-just-missed-earth/ …pic.twitter.com/sUpPBB6SDo

It can't. The future is fundamentally unpredictable. But the best models and physics based predictions don't look good. So why run sudden uncontrolled experiments with our climate and biosphere?

It wasn't as big as a dinosaur killer. It was a city killer. It would do a lot of damage but not enough to endanger all life on Earth. Its relatively small size, plus its speed and elliptical orbit kept it from being seen until it was almost here.

Chances are high it’d have impacted the ocean or some remote area, but not high enough

So it came virtually nowhere near earth just to be sure

It's was roughly twice as far as geostationay orbit. In the scale of not just the universe or the galaxy or heck even our solar system... that was insanely closer than a bullet brushing your arm hair. We're incredibly lucky.
