As much as I believe it's happening given recent years, I can't help
wondering if 20 years down the line, all the existing climate models
are found wanting having all missed out on an important nonlinear
negative feedback that ends up actually cooling the earth system.

The exact opposite of that could be true as well, don't forget and the
models may have missed an important non-linear positive feedback that
speeds the process and leads to warming that actually exceeds the
error bars of the various present models.
