Ok, but I was asking for specific examples of shortcomings in climate models.

It's important to note that scientists openly admit the uncertainty in climate models.

It is important to be aware that predictions from climate models are always subject to uncertainty because of limitations on our knowledge of how the climate system works and on the computing resources available. Different climate models can give different predictions.

Met Office: Climate change projections

Out of curiousity, can you point to a model that shows opposite trends from models such as the Met Office Hadley Centre computer models. Out of all the models I've looked into, I'm unaware of any that show anything but a warming trend. If such a model exists, I'd sure like to see it. If it doesn't, then we have to wonder why that is.

I never suggested such a thing, and you very well know my enthusiasm and ability to conduct research.

Of course Turtle.
