Joachim Seifert says:
You expect and get the climate knowing the MACRO-climate drivers
.
If you dont know/guess/model/simulate around
.you get nothing but
surprise weather
that is the misery of our times
but it soon will end

Shaun Lovejoys comment on Rogers site is rather good:
In reference to Rogers disagreement with
Shaun seems to be saying that GCMs can produce the statistics of macroweather quite well, not that they can actually predict or postdict the actual climate at all.
So there we have it use GCMs for creating a dummy climate for a fantasy game thats fine but dont apply the results to any real-world problems or youll be screwed.
