First I don't know which scientist said this, where you got the info from, how credible it is etc... have a link ?
Secondly even if all of the scientist in the world agreed that they thought it would be 1 degree and it was .02 degree I would still be very alarmed. So they would have over estimated by .08 degress. But you would rather say they were 500% off they know nothing... there is no problem. .02 is still a huge problem. Do the people at MIT think the earth would have to warm 50 degrees before we had problems or do they also agree 2 - 3+ degrees could fuck it up bad for us.

I don't actually have a link handy on that figure, I just know it from reading I've been doing on the subject.
I'm not trying to say that they know nothing. What I'm trying to say is that when your margin of error is so high, you must go back and re-examine the process by which you made the prediction.
Again my argument is simply that we don't know enough to say for sure.
