They would make models to document exactly how wide the confidence bands are and they would strive to make the very best models, so that their wide confidence bands were the narrowest that are robustly supported. This is what is badly needed in fact. It is good science.

Even models with fairly wide confidence bands may go beyond the limits of our current understanding of climate.

As for arguments from ignorance, your attacking a straw man. I'm not saying "global warming if false because you can't prove it". Absence of evidence, isn't evidence of absence, but absence of (sufficient) evidence means you don't have sufficient evidence. Stating that isn't using either form of argument from ignorance.
