Windwip, I'd LOVE to show you the model runs, but good luck finding them.
You won't find successes because THEY DO NOT EXIST, and they really don't like publishing the failures, makes them look rather... bad.
For the record, I was an AerographersMate 2nd Class, USN. I do know about the weather, climate, and the computer models, it was my JOB.
Now, I'm just googleing for results here so don't hit me on the sources.

The Case for Research
The predictions of severe warming over the coming century are based on developing models of climate that have so far failed to accurately simulate history, let alone predict the future. The satellite record of lower atmosphere temperatures since 1979 shows nearly no warming in the lowest level of the atmosphere, where models predicted the fastest warming. The models also utterly fail to accurately simulate the transition into and out of the Ice Ages for the past few hundred thousand years.

A Climate Change Primer: Computer Models and the Need for More Research - by Jay Lehr and Richard S. Bennett - The Heartland Institute Quote:
|
The difficulty in calculating the climate response is reflected by the fact that current climate simulations fail to meet the criterion of validation. Only further research promises to allow the computer simulations to compare accurately human and natural causes of climate change.
