The fact that the models can be made to simulate unforced climate behavior is of course only a first step in enabling them to simulate forced climate change, but because it involves validation against observed data, it is informative at least in terms of the unforced phenomena in showing that the models have probably estimated the real world phenomena with reasonable accuracy.
