Re: My belief in Global Warming is getting shaky

So will one model that meets your stipulation be sufficient, or do you need more?
As a more basic question, if the models have a 'reasonable assumption' of being "true" is that not reason to support throwing less CO2 into the air?
I agree with you (as does just about everyone here I think) that more accuracy is desireable.
As for the reason we can be confident that we understand the impact of the biggest factors, I think that comes from the fact that when we backtest models they are very accurate. If we didn't understand the major factors, the backtesting would not be nearly as close.
