This is of course one big reason why climate science has focussed on this particular metric — because the models can do a reliable and credible (validated through hindcasting recent and paleo climates) job at it!

Even more importantly, unless they can actually be shown to be «plausible», it is not appropriate to present to the impacts community without the disclaimer that they have not shown skill at predicting the climate metrics of interest when the models are run in hindcast.

If the models show a lack of skill and need tuning with respect to predicting (in hindcast) even the current climate statistics on multi-decadal time scales (much less than CHANGES in climate statistics), they are not ready to be used as robust projection tools for the coming decades.

Model estimates of temperatures prior to 2005 are a «hindcast» using known past climate influences, while temperatures projected after 2005 are a «forecast» based on a estimate of how things might change.

Most of these entailed hindcasting, but Hansen's 1988 model projections have exhibited some skill in a forecasting mode, despite his use of inputs now known to overestimate the most likely value of climate sensitivity.

Putting that aside, has any climate model («hypothesis») actually hindcasted or forecasted accurately?

The final draft figure 1.4's blue envelop for the 2001 TAR's projections range is a stretch to logic since it's already + - 0,2 °C wide at the date of its publication in 2001 (instead of beeing the real temperature) meaning climate models are not even capable of hindcasting event most recent years.

Certainly, in Mosher's example of military planning, there are indeed cases where hindcasting the model would make no sense whatsoever, but we aren't talking military planning and strategy here, we are talking climate, and we have a pretty good idea of what the climate has been for the past 150 years, and we know that it RELATES TO how the climate will be 150 years from now.

Obviously, climate models whose hindcasts differ in sign from what is observed (Zhang et al., 2007), or which indicate that human influences are indistinguishable from natural changes (Sarojini et al., 2012) possess no skill in identifying a human - induced climate signal on observed precipitation across the U.S. and therefore should not be used to make future projections.
