Model tuning (suggested by Douglas)
If models that obviously lack important physics can still be well tuned to todays climate, how long can you trust them for climate forecasts?
With climate change, the necessary tuning may be either too small or too large to compensate for the lacking process(es). Is there a time scale (for each process) within which this is insignificant, and beyond which it matters? How do you estimate that?
