    And if the data doesn’t agree with your model, your model is wrong.

    Yes, earlier models we used were far too conservative and it’s worse that we thought.

    Charlie Kirk: No, not like that!

      also it’s not a binary “right or wrong” issue. models can be a little off but that doesn’t nullify the entire idea.

        I would argue they are always off. But some are off in control by margin of error, and some are so bad they get invalidated with the next control measurements. And every bit of data has validated our current climate models. In fact the data is so clear, that we don’t need new models to verify climate change, but we are just looking at refining the scope of different timelines. Hell, we know since 1971 that climate change is dangerous.
