That just pure nonsense. They [climate models] are hardly unreliable. In fact they are
based on Navier Stokes equations, which are the basic equation of
motion. Yes there are some parameters that require some tuning because
they capture small scale effects not adequately captured by the grid.
That's like saying that the models NASA uses to predict the path of the space shuttle are based on Newton's equations of motion. It's true, but there are many more factors, like the nonlinear drag of the atmosphere, gravitational anomalies, the effect of the moon's gravity, etc.
