I have been very skeptical of the claims of Global Warming since the early models could not "postdict" the climate.

I have yet to see a model that has been verified by inputting the starting conditions of the previous century, and coming out with something approximating the current conditions.

Could I join the Ping list?

Actually, several do just that...but what they don't do is continue to work if you wait several years after they are written and input the data from those years. They are *trained* to mimic the curve of the historical record, not to actually model the climate to a precise degree.
