There is, however, a point to be made about exercising caution when evaluating the forward - looking output of a computer model, particularly when those models are used to advocate policy changes on the assumption that the computer model accurately simulates the earth's climate, and more particularly when there is no demonstrable track record of the predictive accuracy of the model.
