No Certain Doom: On the Accuracy of Projected Global Average Surface Air Temperatures

Even the most advanced climate models are making errors so large the projected temperatures have no meaning. This lecture by Patrick Frank, Ph.D. explains why from a mathematical perspective. 28:00 into the lecture makes the statement previously quoted.

What do climate models reveal about future global average temperature? NOTHING.

What do climate models reveal about a human Green House Gas fingerprint on the terrestrial climate? NOTHING.

There is no evidence whatsoever that Green House Gases do anything to the climate.
