Climate modelers aren't engineers, computer scientists or professional software developers.

Climate modelers can be either scientists and get down to the hard gritty business of physics, or they can be gamers.

A scientist would never focus on ONLY one variable, CO2, probably a very minor variable with no correlation with average temperature, when there are dozens of variables affecting Earth's climate... and then further focus only on manmade CO2, for political reasons (only that 3 % of all atmospheric CO2 can be blamed on humans... which is the goal of climate modelers... along with getting more government grants.)

Given that the climate scientists have been studying the climate with massive funding for over 30 years since Hansen's 1981 predictions, and given that modelers are constantly trying to improve their models to include the new found knowledge about various climate forcings, feedbacks, oscillations, etc. that resulted, it seems that there should have been SOME improvement in the predictions over the years.
