I don't have any problems with the physics of climate change, that seems pretty clear.

I am worried about drawing conclusions about policy from predictive models. Causal modeling of time series data is very hard (according to at least some stats folks I asked who work with time series data). I don't know much about it, myself. I also don't know much about climate modeling.
