Angry in the Great White North

Models are only as good as their ability to answer questions put to them.  A model of the Earth is flat is fine, until you ask the model what happens at the edge.  If the model doesn't correctly predict the observation (there is no edge, but you end up back where you started) then the model is no longer helpful.

I've read about a model that correctly predicts values for atmospheric measurements.  That's impressive.  It also predicts what NASA has just recently announced, and that is that predicted global warming was offset by unexpected decreases in water vapour concentration.

That's particularly impressive.

And it's ironic too, because the guy who predicted this used to work for NASA, until he was forced out for developing a model that said global warming was a mirage and simply can't happen.
