But that's a stupid comparison every climate sceptic will immediately see through because climate change is orders of magnitude more difficult to predict.

I believe that human-induced global warming can be predicted from first principles, namely, thermodynamics.  One can also do a simple linear regression plot (global temperature v. carbon dioxide in the atmosphere) and test the regression coefficient to see if it spans zero.  It doesn't:

I did this some time ago and got an adjusted R-squared of around 0.78 (good enough for government work); when I added a binary variable for volcanism, my regression increased to a little above 0.80.  I will certainly try to do this again here soon.
