The method and reasoning is described. That is sufficient to reproduce the method (and results).

It isn't necessary to view the code because anyone is free to do similar work, perhaps in a similar way, perhaps with a different approach. Because there is a fundamental truth, any valid method will approach it.

That multiple methods do suggest that the climate is changing due to human activity is strong evidence for that to be so.

Virtually the same result can be found using different models. In the case of Pliocene climate, the model results also match what is found using physical evidence indicative of the climate during that period.
