Computer Climate Models

Here is a copy of the homepage of a group involved in creating and disseminating computer climate models. This is the science behind the concept of anthropogenic (man-caused) global warming and climate change. I intend to examine this carefully. Let's find out what really goes into these models to get a feel for how accurate they are, and how much faith we should put in them. I'd like as much input from others as possible.

The Community Climate System Model (CCSM) is a fully-coupled, global climate model that provides state-of-the-art computer simulations of the Earth's past, present, and future climate states.
CCSM is sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). Administration of the CCSM is maintained by the Climate and Global Dynamics Division (CGD) at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR).
CCSM is a project within the Climate & Global Dynamics Division (CGD) of the Earth and Sun Systems Laboratory (ESSL) at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). NCAR is managed by the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR).
