Nah. We have a pretty good idea of what the main unknowns in climate are, and they have an associated uncertainty range. Yes, it's a lot of work to model such systems with a useful level of accuracy, but "a lot of work" is very far from "virtually impossible". ?

If the climate was that unpredictable, then the Earth would be uninhabitable.

(FWIW, I do computational modeling for work - not in climate, though - and you would not believe how much misinformation there is about modeling from conservatives)
