We were getting accurate results.
Do your models work for all regions of the earth? Do your models work for any historical period? If not, then it's only a local model, not fit for predicting global weather pattern.

Mechanics is the universal truth in predicting how objects behave in this universe. But it only works in models with less than 30% of the speed of light. When the environment starts to exceed that threshold, mechinics need to be thrown out and replaced with relativity. Einstein was working on a universal equation until his death. He never completed his work. I'm not saying it can't be done. But what we have now is less than incomplete.

Same with predicting climate with human interaction. What we have now is less than incomplete. We shouldn't act with impulse and alarmism.
