Occam's razor (or Ockham's razor) is a principle from philosophy. Suppose there exist two explanations for an occurrence. In this case the one that requires the least speculation is usually better. Another way of saying it is that the more assumptions you have to make, the more unlikely an explanation.

Occam’s razor is not a method of making predictions of empirical measurements. It is not an empirical method.

The better scientific model is the one that makes better predictions, not the one that makes less assumptions for a simpler explanation. Science is not about explanations, it’s about predictions. Any physical phenomenon can have an infinite number of explanations!

None of the papers you listed have even made any predictions of global climate warming empirical measurements, let alone any successful predictions of same.
