He COULD, but why would you think that is His goal?

OK, let's suppose this is not his goal. But then, why would God first
obscure his existence in order to make a number of people not believe in
him,

To develop faith, of course.

"But without faith [it is] impossible to please [him]: for he that cometh
to God must believe that he is, and [that] he is a rewarder of them that
diligently seek him." -- Hebrews 11:6

"And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive." -- Matthew 21:22

and then, later, throw the non-believers in hell, to suffer and
scream and anguish, for ever and ever until the end of time?

I don't believe that.

An all-powerful God could of course do such a thing, but not a God which
is both all-powerful and all-benign...

Are you claiming that God is evil?

YOU are the one who is claiming that.

FYI: modtran isn't reality itself.

Neither are the IPCC climate models.

It can have errors, or limitations.

So can the IPCC models.

It can also have ignorant users who are using it in the wrong way,
and/or interpreting the results in a wrong way.

which the climate scientists have also done. They DO correct their models
from time to time but not after producing hockey sticks and strident alarms.
And they still haven't included the effects of sun spots and solar winds
on cosmic rays which cause nucleation of clouds. This was probably a factor
in the Little Ice Age (the other one being volcanic activity).

It's interesting that sunspot activity has been decreasing for the last
several cycles ...

You should be more skeptical of the models because they aren't reality.
