It is absolutely absurd and dishonest to run a computerized climate model 480 years out into the future. These models are not that good and not that accurate. We can't even predict weather very well beyond 2 weeks.

The climate is subject to chaos theory.

Chaos: When the present determines the future, but the approximate present does not approximately determine the future.

Uncertainty is an exponential function of time in chaotic, non-linear dynamic systems like the climate. The year 2500 could just as easily be a deep glacial period.
