Does "they" refer to all models?

The main article's set of models are different than the ones referred to in another link someone in this thread provided, and I suspect the article you've linked will also use yet another unique set.

If it was me trying to persuade people, and all historic climate change models did indeed work really, really well, I'd make an authoritative web page that lists all of these models including their inputs and outputs, and show a detailed quantitative comparison of their outputs. I would think this approach would be more persuasive in multiple ways than hundreds of separate articles written in a narrative style, lacking numbers and consistency in sets of models.
