   No.  In the strict sense, a scientific hypothesis/model/theory could   
   never, in an absolute sense, ever be confirmed; as I have told you,   
   scientific truth is "contingent truth," which means that it is "testable   
   & correctable."   
      
   As for the climate models, they most certainly could be falsified!  If   
   the Arctic Sea Ice would start increasing in its annual extent, then the   
   climate models would be clearly falsified, as NO model predicts this at   
   this point in human history!
