One thing so-called "feasible" climate models have in common is that they assume people in power, and even people in general, will suddenly behave very differently than they have been behaving for centuries, millennia even. They assume this implicitly, by not taking socio-cultural factors into account. These factors may be difficult, if not impossible, to model in any useful way. That's not an excuse to pretend they are not dominant factors.
