This is hardly a complete picture of 1970s science, nor does it give us a very good model of the climate system (as understood by 1970s scientists).

Only with the inclusion of human influences can computer models of the climate reproduce the observed changes.

The consensus model of climate has a long track record of successful predictions — that makes it very unlikely that it is fundamentally wrong.

The advantage of computer - based models of the climate is that, unlike «experiments» on the real thing, experiments on a model climate can be repeated.

Carter's thinking is dangerous not only because it's bad logic, but because it encourages a linear mental model of climate change that implies that as soon as we start reducing emissions, temperature will respond by falling.

Much of the confusion arises because so much of scientific modeling of climate impacts assumes a wide variety of possible stabilization targets, which gives a wide range of impacts, which makes it seem like scientists don't know what's going to happen.
