Computer models are used to try to predict the local effects of climate change, not prove whether it’s real. The basic science is settled, and no one needed computers to do it. Heck the hypothesis was first proposed over 100 years ago.
Computer climate models have trouble returning accurate predictions for exactly the same reasons it’s hard to make accurate weather forecasts. They’re attempting to do things on the edge what we know is possible. Personally, I would not call that “flimsy as hell.”
