Pearls Before Swine - [Another insane global warming poster]

Seven Climate Models, Seven Different Answers | The Resilient Earth
Unsurprisingly, the model predictions do not match up with reality. Given the rapid pace of new climate science discoveries, climate modelers find themselves with a burgeoning list of new factors that need inclusion in their models. Will they succeed in making the models reflect the real world? Probably not, if the experience of the LCC modelers is any indication. Earth's climate system is amazingly complex and modeling is fraught with pitfalls and danger for even the most experienced computer scientists. Still, climate science remains enthralled by its computer playthings. I have to echo Professor Pielke's question, how many years of wrong results are necessary before we reject the IPCC reports and the models they are based on?
