  In terms of the second issue, the uncertainties inherent in the climate models, the admirable progress achieved by climate modeling must be acknowledged, but many serious pitfalls, such as the role of clouds, or the couplings to the oceanic and particularly the terrestrial biosphere (land plants), remain to be resolved.

• All climate models are wrong but wrong models are useful: Why, where, and how? (2026) · PLOS Climate · doi

  The paper identifies a gap in the consideration of internal variability and uncertainty in climate modeling. - It highlights the need for better sampling of other sources of uncertainty.

  The study uses a deterministic model, which may not capture the full range of uncertainties in the system. - The simulation is based on a single scenario, which may not be representative of all possible future climate conditions.
