Obviously, any model can become unrealistic. That doesn't mean that
you can't get good information out of models, merely that you have to
be careful. The IPCC is being pretty careful.
Careful? As in the case of the hockeystick curve?
The hockey-stick data wasn't a model, but rather the ineptly-filtered
presentation of raw data. Mann certainly screwed up, because he didn't
understand exactly how his filtering procedure worked. Even there, the
peer-reviewing process finally worked and his curves were eventually
discredited.
Wasn't that the guy who supposedly didn't want to release raw data? So
far for an organization being "careful".

And the person who discovered the mistake is the AGW-despised Steve McIntyre
(who was a peer reviewer for them at the time). Refused the raw data, he
'reverse engineered' somehow the figures and found the flaw.

This shows how much political hardball seems to be played in that "scientific" world. Pretty sad, actually:

Yet Mann's fraudulent and now discredited graph is a central plank of Gore's
comic film and much of all the AGW alarmism worldwide.


As far as our neighborhood is concerned I wouldn't know a single person who believe the guy anymore.
