"Ozone could be a much more important driver of climate change than scientists had previously predicted, according to a study in Nature journal."

Which only goes to show that the models are far from perfect. However their biggest flaw is almost no understanding of cloud effects and that alone really demolishes any credibilty that people put on them.

I told you that screwing up the chemical make up of the ozone through gasses we are releasing is changing the ozone. Thus goes to show why we need to reign in the burning of fossil fuels and release of other related gases.

That particular criticism of models has been made before here, and has been refuted by people (smarter than me) in other threads. The IPCC are 90% sure of their correctness, and in a study, 928 peer-reviewed research papers agreed with consensus, and none of the papers disagreed. Climate modelling (and cloud effects) are intrinsic to that understanding. And that's the end of the matter.
