When you start to enter the realm of modelling, especially of complex systems with feedback loops, you aren't really conducting science any more.

Unfortunately the brand of science is used to promote these models, which is disingenuous. These models aren't like physics models, they are like economic models.

Unlike economic models, however, the climate systems have boundary conditions and underlying assumptions based on real science -- physics.
