I think model predictions match observations, in more ways than "it's getting warmer by about the right amount".
Not a climate scientist, but roughly, from memory:
- Past predictions didn't know exactly what future emissions will be like. Applying real emissions to the models gives "correct" warming quantities
- Climate is changing in a similar manner to predicted, e.g. the poles are warming more quickly than the other areas
