Accuracy must be tested by comparing in hindcast runs of the models their ability to:

If I can prove that solar activity is modulated by the motion of the solar system masses and their associated fields, we will be able to accurately hindcast solar activity and get a better idea of its correlation with climate changes.

The burden, of course, is for authors that present hindcast multi-decadal climate projections, to provide quantitative documentation of the ability of their model to predict changes in the climate metrics that are requested by the impact and policy communities.

Another, more interesting, reason is that it can help invalidate models (or give them at best some limited validity) by letting them run for hindcast of the actual situation.

By looking at the accuracy of the model's performance in matching hindcasts they would be able to estimate within what margin of error the model was expected to be able to perform.

Notice for example, the great deviation in the hindcast due to the 1991 Pinatubo eruption, which obviously couldn't be anticipated by better initializations.

So the models hindcast is low, say by one bomb.

The sensitivity of the models is, as I think you are saying, constrained by it's parametrizations, which are bounded by observational data on TOA radiation data etc. (although not all very tightly constrained) but this is not what is being questioned about the models, rather the issue is whether the model hindcasts matching historical temperatures to some degree is evidence that they have correct physics, or is merely a result of modelers making the choices for inputs which will produce a reasonable result.

Further are you talking about hindcasting or forecasting by these models?

Nothing I have done or studied or forecasted or hindcasted the past 24 years has come true, and everything I have projected and extrapolated the past 24 years has been falsified by real data, or proven to have come from bad programs, post-hoc edits, and exaggerated sources of no reasonable validity.

We find a close agreement between the CESM - based hindcasts and the Markov model, indicating that the largest contribution to the predictive skill of soil water on interannual to decadal timescales in CESM can be attributed to the damped persistence, which is partly governed by the evapotranspiration (Delworth and Manabe 1988), the total runoff, and the diffusion of soil moisture into the deeper soil levels as shown in the Eq.

The ability to hindcast the detailed changes in atmospheric composition over the past decade, particularly the variability of tropospheric O3 and CO, is limited by the availability of measurements and their integration with models and emissions data.

This stance may be reinforced by his personal dislike of Michael Mann as well as false statements such as» [climate] models are barely able to hindcast, let alone forecast».

The practice of hindcasting remains unscientific because it circumvents deduction and, as has been widely discussed by the great philosophers of our time (e.g. Popper), just because induction works in some cases does not prove that it works in all cases and does not make it an acceptable scientific method.
