Based on the science, they know if you keep pumping CO2 into the atmosphere at the same rate, the place is going to get hotter. No questions asked.

In the same way, I don't "know" if I'm going to be hit by a car if I close my eyes and start to cross 5 lanes of traffic at rush hour, but the odds are against me.
