It is not necessary that all 73 models be correct for all inputs. All models are simplifications, and different simplifications can be expected to break down in different ways when the simplification is inappropriate. The classical model for a pendulum, with a couple of hundred years of understanding behind it, breaks down when the displacement input is too large. Comparing the models, and determining how the different inputs affect the predictions, helps to determine which inputs we most need to understand. And comparing the models is a very active part of climate research. > Why not? Because it is a fallacy to insist that they all be right. > Do you agree they are wrong? > > If so, what are you whingeing about? All models are wrong under some conditions. Knowing when the model is right, or knowing what is causing it to be wrong, is as important as the actual predictions it makes. Bitching about models never being perfect is asinine. /dps -- "This is all very fine, but let us not be carried away be excitement, but ask calmly, how does this person feel about in in his cooler moments next day, with six or seven thousand feet of snow and stuff on top of him?" _Roughing It_, Mark Twain.
