Someday climate models will be very useful.

That day hasn’t arrived yet.

The climate models predicted a specific fingerprint of CO2 induced warming that did not happen. Specifically that atmospheric warming at higher altitudes around the equator would indicate C02 is driving warming. Yet those increases in temperature in that area of the atmosphere have not been detected.

No climate model predicted the cooling trend of the last eight to ten years.

The simple fact is climate models to date have been a total failure at predicting the future with any certainty. To bet trillions of dollars and peoples well being on these failed models at this time is plain foolish.

They are indeed useful as a means to a pay check for the “scientist” too lazy to pursue actual scientific methods.
