Dec 12, 2018 at 1:20 comment added naught101 @jeffronicus: Ocean heat content isn't a driver, it's a storage pool. The pre-industrial-CO2-level simulations are already run for 1850-2005 (CMIP5), it wouldn't be technically hard to continue running them with the same CO2 levels. Adding in Volcanoes would be a bit more complex, I'm not sure how reasonable a stochastic model would be for volcanoes, or how much impact different eruptions would have over the long term.
Dec 11, 2018 at 16:55 comment added jeffronicus Is there even a meaningful way to generate such a simulation, since the current climate system already has long-term anthropogenic forcings baked into it via CO2 and ocean heat content? ("Due to its large heat capacity, the ocean is the likely source of natural long-term climate variability on interdecadal time scales." pnas.org/content/106/38/16120)
