model's
ability to classify a dog correctly as an eventual program release or success (higher AUCs indicate better
predictive power)(54, 55)(SI Materials and Methods).

predictive ability, they don't, instead appealing to rhetoric or strawman attacks about CAGW alarmism.
However, I am not skeptical about the 100 + year - old GHG theory
model, because it is based on good physics and it seems to explain everything that I am curious about, with much better
predictive ability.
If you were to produce a chaotic
model using the above, I would venture a prediction that the above former were the massive attractors about which we could make some decent predictions about the future but that the latter human produced CO2 inserted into our atmosphere would leave us with hopelessly inadequate and wrong predictions because CO2 contributed by man is not an attractor of any significance in the chaotic Earth climate system nor is CO2 produced by man a perturbation that would yield any
predictive ability.
McArdle appears reluctant to embrace the predictions of climate
models under the assumption that they are similar to mid-century macroeconomic

It's an arcane discussion that creates confusion between validation of the climate

predictive ability.
«The recent dramatic cooling of the average heat content of the upper oceans, and thus a significant negative radiative imbalance of the climate system for at least a two year period, that was mentioned in the Climate Science weblog posting of July 27, 2006, should be a wake - up call to the climate community that the focus on
predictive modeling as the framework to communicate to policymakers on climate policy has serious issues as to its
ability to accurately predict the behavior of the climate system.
The best way to gauge a

model or theory is
predictive ability, and the
models have done well so far as below.
Checking whether a
model can produce past history in no way validates it as a correct
model of reality — in a few minutes I could program a «

If internal system variability on it's own were sufficient as you seem to believe then the mechanisms and quantities involved would already have been substantially resolved with sound
