So toss all the climate models, and start comparing results of actions taken based on those models. Especially when the model is a black box and not your own derivative.

Game theory plays well for modeling, especially when the results can be treated statistically. Refinement through iteration allows a narrowing of the range of error. If we stop repeating things and dehabilitiate redundency, then we are at the mercy of the weakest link in the chain, with a wide realm of potential error.
