Science is only science if it can be tested and proven false. Computer models fall short.

And yet, you can prove that the predictions made by a computer model are (or aren't) false.

I don't know anything about these particular models, but the models that have been used to raise the global warming alarm over the last 10 years have consistently failed to predict outcomes. Upper atmosphere temperatures in particular, which are key to the premise of the models.
