Multiple studies demonstrate that historical climate model simulations successfully reproduce observed global and regional warming trends when accounting for anthropogenic forcings.
The retrieved literature contains specific studies evaluating climate models (such as CMIP5) against observations. Papers [1] and [4] directly support the claim by showing that climate models successfully reproduce observed warming patterns and trends in surface and tropospheric temperatures. The remaining papers discuss methodologies, paleoclimate reconstructions, data rescue, or future CMIP7 scenarios without directly refuting historical model predictive success.
