Well, Climategate happened. So there is legitimate reason to be skeptical of dire claims. And yes, I’m aware all of those involved in the scandal were cleared of wrongdoing. That’s like the FBI investigating itself and finding nothing wrong.

Anyways, the fundamental assumption of most models—-that humans are behind climate change—-has not been sufficiently evaluated or tested. I find starting with that assumption unscientific.

Just for kicks, what do you think is the reason for that curve at the end of the hockey stick diagram? Because there's quite a bit of work that's been done there, I don't know what you need more!
