Questions: When you say the models are "biased" are you saying that they have been preprogramed to reach a certain result? And if so--what information are you basing this on? According the to the article in The New Yorker on Hansen's computer climate model it has accurately predicted all the climatic changes so far while it has been in existence. I suspect you feel it has been "gamed" to do this, but until we have evidence of such don't we have to give this at least a "maybe"? In a perfect world waiting and matching results makes some sense. But that is not the situation---currently the ice is melting, the water rising. If we wait to know the reason we may all be underwater. Its kinda of like planning for war. You know some things, but on others you have to adjust on the fly as the situation develops. But you are right in the sense that we shouldn't pretend we have all the answers.
