Could someone please explain to me how the IPCC can be calling for urgent action when their models are looking increasingly busted?

I can see three main possibilities:
- their models aren't busted (Judith Curry is wrong, as are those whom she cites)
- their models are busted, and that increases the risk (i.e. risk increases as a result of forecasting being essentially impossible)
- their models are busted, and they're doubling down on a bad bet for political reasons
