Here is just one
reason(great find AG) that there are no accurate climate models(nor will there be anytime soon). Added to that is the fact that with current computer technology it would take
1034 years to calculate all of the data and known variables involved.
Imagine it.
Proccessing, please wait.
Estimated time remaining-
10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years
Big DUH!

I'm agnostic on computer climate models. You simply don't need to know all the variables with absolute certainty to draw useful conclusions. You have to understand the bounds on your predictions. The more intellectually dishonest researchers are, the more likely they are to get mentioned in the popular press.
I have done computer modeling and use computer models at work, all the time. I think I know shoddy work when I see it. The climatologist do not seem particularly eager for Validation and Verfication of their models.
