Several studies have found that some models were not getting the timing right of the kind of short - term natural changes in the climate system that can happen over the course of a decade or so, such as volcanic eruptions that have a cooling effect or El Niño weather patterns that have a warming effect.

Recent experiments with a number of different climate models indicate that the inclusion of natural climate forcings such as volcanic eruptions, stratospheric ozone depletion, and solar variability can lead to a broad spectrum of simulated 20 - year surface and lower to mid-tropospheric temperature trends.

Instead, natural variations in the climate system and other external forcing factors (such as volcanic eruptions) will likely cause the rate of Arctic sea ice change to vary considerably from decade to decade, and perhaps even temporarily switch from negative (sea ice loss) to positive (sea ice growth).

One type would include the known past conditions such as volcanic eruptions to try to reproduce past climate conditions.

I always believed that the oceans were an important element in localised weather conditions over the short term but feel that relatively sudden shifts in climate occur through external forcings such as volcanic eruptions, meteor strike and the effects of changes in cosmic rays and sun spot activity, which are, unfortunately, all chaotic by nature and unpredictable.
