Nope, and I didn't say that. I am seeking to understand why no climate model yet invented has succeeded in modeling actual temperature changes.
What I mean by that is that you can take any model made, insert historical data, and then use it to forecast temperatures and temperature trends. But none of the models are accurate in predicting the same temperatures as were observed. In fact they frequently show an increase when actual temperatures decrease, or vice versa, meaning that both the direction and magnitude of the temperature are wrong.
My speculation was the models don't work because the models are focused on the wrong GHG. It would seem that you disagree.
I also speculated tha adding megatons of water vapor - known to be a much more potent GHG than carbon dioxide - via spray irrigation, might be affecting climate.
