   You don't think correctly. And more, if a model (a set of hypothesis)   
   fails over a period of time, it can fail any time again.   
      
   You only need a large number of "models". It will be very likely that   
   one of them will make a good prediction..   
   The IPCC made 108 runs of 34 models. That is enough to always find one   
   that made some good "prediction" at some moment.
