There you go, "expected to change" is the key phrase. There is just another climate model that spit out data saying it's expected to change, just like the climate was expected to be warming this century.
So let me get this straight, a government agency releases reports derived from a climate computer model which predicts the climate will steadily warm for a century, Then another scientist uses that data to publish another report that the climate is "expected to change," and this makes the second report a valid reference?
If you sprinkle a science paper with enough words and phrases like, might, could, may, projected, expected, possible, plausible, trending towards, etc... that makes them irrefutable factual, and worth changing our laws, imposing regulations and changing our way of life... even if all there predictions flat out failed to come true?
If I were to have said in 2000, that there was not going to be any warming, much less man-made global warming, for ten years, you would have called me a denier, and pointed to reports claiming there would be another .5 degree in climate warming, from some report with words like might, could, may, projected, expected, possible, etc...
Then, after 17 years of no global warming, you are still pointing to the same stuff, claiming might, could, may, projected, expected, possible, etc... and calling me a denier.
