Basic physics principles are expressed highly accurately in mathematical models.
Except that your "highly accurate" mathematical models don't model observable, measurable reality. It is very unfortunate that you are unable to see that.
Models attempting to replicate complex physical systems are called simulations which use the basic models. Simulations depend on finding and expressing all influences on the system. These are not as accurate, and certainly would have larger error bars. Often the error bars are found by considering the extrema of each influence. That is why when you see future projections they will have a wide variation.
And models attempting to simulate the climate and energy movement through the atmosphere invariably fail miserably...and why? Simple, because they are based upon an "interpretation" of the physics of energy movement that simply is not real...When you base a model on flawed physics, the model is bound to fail. If you based a flight simulator on flawed physics, you wouldn't get off the ground, or you might gain enough altitude to kill yourself...but you would not get an accurate representation, or simulation of flight....climate models don't give an accurate simulation of the climate because they are based on flawed physics.
One example is hurricane path prediction where the influences would be hard to project accurately.
.
If, we had a more complete understanding of how energy moves through the atmosphere, what effect it has on systems and how those systems effect other systems, we could probably not only predict the path of hurricanes, we could probably predict their development, and have a pretty good idea of how strong they would be before the clouds even begun to form. The FACTt that we can't predict with any real accuracy where they are going and the FACT that we routinely get surprised by what they do is evidence that we have little idea of how the energy is moving through the system...and the FACT that we can't even predict with any real degree of accuracy where a structure as organized as a hurricane is going to go, and how powerful it will be should clue you in to how far we are away from understanding something as complicated and chaotic as the global climate. We essentially know JACK, and you are living under the delusion that we understand it all and have it all in hand. We can't predict the path and strength of an organized entity like a hurricane, but we can predict and simulate the global climate?
In which institution for the bewildered do you reside?
