But for journalists and others who are not climate scientists, some narrative would help, as inline text and more clarification as footnotes if needed
including, cover for example: — being very clear for a graph what was being forecast (people play silly games with Hansen, confusing which was BAU)-- Perhaps showing original graph first «This is what was predicted...» in [clearly a] sidebar THEN annotated / overlayed graph with «And this is how they did...» sidebar — placing the
prediction in context of the evolving data and science (e.g. we'd reached 3xx ppm and trajectory was; or «used
improved ocean model»; or whatever)-- perhaps a nod to the successive IPCC reports and links to their narrative, so the historical evolution is clear, and also perhaps, how the confidence level has evolved.
There are some source of predictability that are still not fully resolved (
including those dealing with
improving climate models, but also related to unexplored initial conditions or driving conditions), and a great benefit of these predictability studies is that they mimic the practice of weather
prediction by confronting models with observations at the relevant time and spatial scales, leading to the necessary inspiration for this model improvement.

predictions over the years.
