There are many things about climate that I accept — that human emissions have effect on increases of CO2 content in the atmosphere (while the concentration is driven largely by
temperature and
resulting solubility of CO2 in
sea water, humans still provide the surplus), that this increased CO2 content has effect on
temperature (and indirectly on other aspects of climate), that humans affect the climate (but not just through CO2 but also through UHI, agricultural changes, pollution etc), that
temperatures have
risen since half of the last century.
The model calculates the path of atmospheric CO2 and other GHG concentrations, global mean surface
temperature, and mean

rise resulting from these emissions.
Elsewhere on this site there is a graph of overall ocean heat content which is building indicating that while the sst is decreasing slightly the overall ocean is warming, It is likely that this overall ocean warming which has nothing to do with changes to the atmospheric
temperature because it is the
sea surface and not the deep ocean that is in contact with the atmosphere is what is
resulting in the overall
rise in atmospheric CO2 concentration which is currenly increasing at 2ppmv / year.
