"Widely accepted physical principles" -- many of which relating to climate they still don't know how to model 2. "ability to accurately reproduce key features of past and current climate" -- anyone can replicate the past with enough degrees of freedom. So what? And that reproduction of the present isn't going so well. 3. "they have undergone an extensive peer-review process and been validated by numerous scientific bodies" -- given how worthless peer-review is, is that a plus? And apparently these scientific bodies have managed to validate the models without, you know, actually validating the models. What a worthless pile of garbage. Their response actually demonstrates how weak their case is. They'd have been better off to ignore you. 1. “Widely accepted physical principles” — many of which relating to climate they still don’t know how to model
