Frankly, I'm not obsessed enough to read all of it. The gist of it seems to be an archive of someone who is doing his damned level best to try and integrate dozens of different data sources that have so many different potential variables among them that it's nearly impossible.
Climate modeling is, almost by definition, an attempt to make sense out of near-chaos. As with many other models, it eventually boils down to what assumptions you make, and the ever-present GIGO dangers. I'm not sure climate modeling is even feasible to the extent organizations like the U.N. are trying to do it.
A good model works by predicting future behavior. So far, this hasn't been a strong point of current climate models, even when somebody isn't trying to "tilt" them a bit.
