I would say it does actually. The article is about the difficulty of climate modeling and really arrives at no conclusion. It's also an article not a research paper. It's a point of discussion, nothing more. I haven't read the others yet.

Then you just don't understand the thesis of their report. They are not attempting to "claim to disprove a significant anthropogenic influence on global climate." What they are saying is that "Our current lack of understanding of the Earth’s climate system does not allow us to determine reliably the magnitude of climate change that will be caused by anthropogenic CO2 emissions." What they have set out to prove is that the current climate modeling is useless or meaningless given the complexity of the Earth's entire global climate system.

That is why the modeling is useless. This is the point I've been making, that there is no concensus amongst the scientists.
