WHAT ARE ALARMISTS PREDICTING FOR CLIMATE?

Here is one prediction in a recent New York Times article from a NASA scientist forecasting a possible Dalton Minimum. Yet, at the same time, I read this item in the Telegraph predicting record high temperatures in the next few years, again allegedly coming from NASA. I know that these predictions are extremely difficult so why won't the media admit that it really amounts to no more than educated guess work, instead of pretending that scientists really understand all the complex interactions that make up our climate.
