Disaster scenarios, like weather, are not climate. Predicting what will happen as a result of warming is more difficult because the systems and factors are more complex. Just because this specific region didn't experience an increased temperature or this specific species didn't experience pressure or just because that particular area had more snowfall doesn't mean the overall temperature of the planet isn't increasing.
In the case of AGW they already have predictions that have come to fruition, in the case of that guy's paper he's speculating on something that hasn't arrived yet.

No one says it's greenhouse gas exclusively either. There's lots of factors, each one which contributes to the final result.
But they're obviously important, without the little bit of greenhouse gasses we have now the earth would be a frozen ball.
