The climate models as described here won't produce glacial / interglacial cycles if run for a long time, and that is because they treat the atmospheric content of trace IR - absorbing gases (CO2, methane and N2O) as external forcings.

Well my point is that a model that is tuned to match a climate signal only, should not track, accurately, a record that is both a climate and weather signal especially when we know that these medium term effects can be quite strong, even if they cycle out in the longer term.

The model may be right over the full 131 year period, but in this case doesn't reflect natural cycles including El Nino and longer cycles (as is the case for ocean warming, where models — significantly — don't reflect any cycle with a length between 10 - 100 years).

So what we did with the model is: stretch the input of the carbon over longer and longer periods of time until we get a match between the observations and the carbon cycle and climate models.

We need to be careful focussing upon «trends» — it can lead to serious errors of context — and this underlies the entire «global warming» thesis which relies upon computer models with entirely false (i.e. non-natural) notions of an equilibrium starting point and calculations of trend — this conveniently ignores cycles, and it has to because a) there are several non-orbital cycles in motion (8 - 10 yr, 11, 22, 60, 70, 80, 400 and 1000 - 1500) depending on ocean basic, hemisphere and global view — all interacting via «teleconnection» of those ocean basins, some clearly timed by solar cycles, some peaking together; b) because the cycles are not exact, you can not tell in any one decade where you are in the longer cycles.

Now forced to explain the warming hiatus, Trenberth has flipped flopped about the PDO's importance writing «One of the things emerging from several lines is that the IPCC has not paid enough attention to natural variability, on several time scales,» «especially El Niños and La Niñas, the Pacific Ocean phenomena that are not yet captured by climate models, and the longer term Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) and Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) which have cycle lengths of about 60 years.»

The reason because those longer cycles have not been included in the present model is because their amplitude is not certain given to the fact that the temperature records start in 1850.
