How can climate scientists using in some cases only 30 years worth of data?

Say for a fact that we know that man is the main driving factor behind climate change. Just because the temperature has risen from a global minimum and CO2 has increased during the same time frame doesn’t mean that CO2 and methane are driving the temperature change.
For MTR and others who spout the use of tree rings etc to recreate past temperature history, than why does the US EPA now is seriously doubting this information? That is one of the points that I am trying to make, the more research into the climate the more the AGW models are being filled with doubts.

Is this why the climate models always fail to predict the future?

The models are hind-cast to fit past climate data. Since this climate data has been altered the models are fundamentally flawed and therefore do not fit the REAL temperature curves going forward. It would make sense that the models don’t parallel observation.

What is the use of computers in ecology?

I need it for a school project.I know it is used in creating models to predict the future developing of a problem or something,all I need is links.
