All non-random decisions are made against models of the world. Some of those models are more detailed than others. All detailed models are made by people who care a lot and have interests at stake. It's not possible to make decisions outside the context of a narrative.

exactly, so why believe climate models? They are biased one way or the other?

Why believe any model?

Just act completely random.

Don't wake up, and go to your job, under the assumption that you will get paid.

Don't avoid jumping down a 15 stories building under the assumption that you will die.

Don't breathe. Your model is biased towards breathing.
