No, it translates to
climate models can not accurately represent natural
climate variability, which is why they can't project future global temperature at even the 2 % confidence level: «we find that the continued

model projections even at the 2 % confidence level» — vonStorch (2013)
Dr. Judith Curry notes «The most recent
climate model simulations used in the AR5 indicate that the
warming stagnation since 1998 is no longer consistent with

These folks prefer rather more exotic explanations that seek to deflect the blame away from the
climate models and thus preserve their over-heated
projections of future global
warming.

What's lost in a lot of the discussion about human - caused
