Model Behavior: In Climate Science, It’s All About the Computers - Warren Meyer - Coyote Den - Forbes

Climate modelers will argue that their models have gotten better over the last 20 years. But I would argue that they, just like our economic models, still fall well short of accurately modelling tremendously complex processes. Worse, they continue to repeat the mistake of assuming their conclusion, choosing their constants in a way that guarantee certain warming answers. In the last 20 years they may have added a lot of lines of code, but have added little accuracy. After all, adding a few more special effects to the Wizard of Oz’s light show doesn’t make him a better wizard.

Ambrose: Warming skeptics are not 'deniers' | ScrippsNews

Dyson, one of America's most respected physicists, once went to war in a New York Review of Books piece with scientists who dismissed other scientists skeptical of warming alarms as having nothing important to say. He noted that the majority of scientists have time and again been proven wrong in controversies, adds that warming is less about science than environmentalism as a secular religion, and says fine - the basic ethics add up. What doesn't add up, he says, is adopting "as an article of faith the belief that global warming is the greatest threat to the ecology of our planet."

To which I say amen.
