None of the vaunted climate change models predicted the “pause,” but we’re still supposed to have absolute faith in the models and their masters.
Well, I'm sure the climate models are very useful as a feedback mechanism in the classic scientific method. I have a lot of faith in their usefulness there. But entities outside climate science have latched onto climate science and the models as a means of furthering their political, power, and control agenda. They are attempting to (mis)use these models in a predictive role, looking decades, even centuries into the future. These models cannot be used for that, and likely never will be scientifically defensible in that role. Ever. If I ever decide to go for my doctorate, I'll write my thesis on why climate models will never be able to predict the climate in 2100.
