Apples and pears: a computer model for something so localised that occurs over a few days and is very fast moving can't be used to discredit another model for something which is global, of very slow increment (but nonetheless steady) and will last for thousands of years. The fact that there are thousands of contributing factors all going in the same direction will only make it more cohesive, not less: strength in numbers.
But, then again you already knew that...
