Abstract: Current CO2-climate models are briefly reviewed in terms of their ability to simulate accurately real-world properties and processes. It is found that state-of-the-art models have many significant shortcomings which essentially preclude their being used as a basis for rational decision-making in the realm of energy policy and its relationship to climate.
