If for instance, the model accurately predicts the things it is tuned to predict, such as avg global temperature and co2 concentration, yet in the course of doing so, errors force the relative humidity to rise to close to 100% without a corresponding increase in rainfall or cloud albedo, then such a model would be unphysical.
