Finally, I reiterate my request for you and Jason to present papers that document a skill of the multi-decadal (Type 4) regional climate models to predict (in hindcast) the observed CHANGES in climate statistics over this time period.

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.

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.

I think Roger's main point is that a first condition for making plausible projections is that the models have skill in hindcast.

The assumed aerosol forcing is also unique for each model and «fudges» each model to hindcast global temperature during the past century.

Particularly valuable is perhaps research related to difficulties in avoiding confirmatory bias in testing models through hindcasting, when the model builders have some, perhaps only qualitative, knowledge on the data to be used for testing already when they develop the model.

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.

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.

About my model, in the paper the model has been carefully tested in its hindcasting capabilities for centuries and millennia.

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.

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.

One might think that modelling was the way out, with its inherent flexibility to keep torturing the data and algorithms in different ways with the biggest supercomputers available until they squeal out the desired result, with a QED for both accurate prediction and hindcasting.

This late - 1970s reversal in sea ice trends was not captured by the hindcasts of the recent CMIP5 climate models used for the latest IPCC reports, which suggests that current climate models are still quite poor at modelling past sea ice trends.»

This hindcast setting roughly follows the experimental design of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project - 5 (CMIP5) for decadal climate prediction (Taylor et al. 2009; Murphy et al. 2010).

As a result of these processes, the predictability for both the Markov model and CESM model hindcasts increases with depth attaining values of up to 5 — 8 years for the northern US and 10 years for the southern US / Mexico index regions.

So, inputting actual values of the cooling effect (such as the determination by Penner et al.) would make every climate model provide a mismatch of the global warming it hindcasts and the observed global warming for the twentieth century.

It's me needing a better understanding of hindcasting, but I see that as taking a model that we point towards the future and use the results from the same model by pointing it back in history (where we have observable evidence) and use the quality of hindcasting results to support the presumed reliability for the forward projections.
