So why might the model and reality diverge at exactly the current

exactly the current date by fiddling with the assumed forcing input.
Are you sure what you're speculating about? The distributed computing
client receives seed data and runs a model based on starting parameters.
It is not modified with additional data while it runs. So I don't believe
I'm convinced that such a model would likely diverge at the current date.
Besides, this thread is about runaway warming and therefore about
conditions far removed from the calibration period.
True. As you move further away from the starting point, divergences
reinforce each other.
