Climate models have different characteristics than weather prediction models: the time scale is completely different (centuries versus days or weaks) and their main goal is also complementary (prognostic in the weather prediction and diagnostic in the case of climate models). Climate models were introduced in order to understand past and future climates and their sensitivity on a few of relevant features (which a quantitative analysis reduces to some parameters).
