It depends on what you want to do e.g. DEs vs Statistical models vs data analysis/visualisation. What kind of stuff are you interested in doing? And also how comfortable do you feel with Python?

I can't comment on climate systems in particular -- it's not my area of expertise -- but UChicago's Global Warming courses Part 1 and Part 2 look promising.

\> The worst of it, is just the simple fact that the climate models that have been put out since the late 1980s have been routinely incorrect

I highly doubt I am going to convince you, but they haven't: https://skepticalscience.com/climate-models.htm & https://www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-how-well-have-climate-models-projected-global-warming

If you doubt those sources, you can learn to model the climate yourself. The math isn't exactly a secret. Learning the math & physics behind climate modeling is a doable feat.

If you know how to code, these two courses are sufficient: https://www.coursera.org/learn/global-warming & https://www.coursera.org/learn/global-warming-model

\> absolutely no one who is attempting to “fix climate change” will acknowledge that both India and China have zero desire to get off of coal in the near (50 years) future.

Nah, environmental groups acknowledge it. It is a BIG problem like you've said. Just because you don't hear about something doesn't mean it is not happening.

Science isn't built around a cult of personality. Freeman Dyson was a smart guy but being smart doesn't mean you can't be wrong. Posting on reddit isn't going to change anything though, and you & I will both be dead by the time the worse impacts of climate change (which will occur at the end of the century assuming we do nothing) come to fruition.
