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.
