That is a fact. My father used to work IT for Amoco. He has sometimes talked about how simulations need to be designed to reflect the real-world. But from what I understand, the current AGW sims do a fairly good job of that.

I am not so sure of that. In 2007, the models showed decreasing polar ice in 2008 and 2009. Instead, the minimum ice coverage increased. Likewise, there were forecasts for increasing numbers of hurricanes, which didn’t happen. If your models predict the opposite of what actually occurred, then they aren’t working and need to be revised until they do work.
