And note this paragraph about half-way down the article:
Bastardi said. “Part of the reason we got this winter forecast right — and again I’ll show you this winter forecast – is I knew that with the Pacific cooling, we are getting back toward those times in the ’60s and ’70s. That’s where winters are going to go. When the Pacific cools, the Atlantic cools, guess what happens? You cool those big bodies of water, you are going to cool the atmosphere around it. The models aren’t capable of handling this.
The models weren’t designed to show anything but AGW.
