For those with a little more than a casual interest in issues of climate models here is a partial reading/study list put out by an acquaintance of mine who is teaching a graduate level class on computer modelling for students who have very little climate or computer focus in their education.
Claussen, M. (2007). Climate system models a brief introduction. Developments in Quaternary Science, 7, 495-497.
Dahan, A. (2010). Putting the Earth System in a numerical box? The evolution from climate modeling toward global change. Studies In History and Philosophy of Science Part B: Studies In History and Philosophy of Modern Physics, 41(3), 282-292.

Liepert, B. G. (2010). The physical concept of climate forcing. Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: Climate Change, 1(6), 786-802.
Lynch, P. (2008). The origins of computer weather prediction and climate modeling. Journal of Computational Physics, 227(7), 3431-3444.
Ramanathan, V., & Feng, Y. (2008). On avoiding dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system: Formidable challenges ahead. Proc. of the Nat. Acad. of Sciences, 105(38), 14245-14250.
Rind, D. (1999). Complexity and Climate. Science, 284(5411), 105-107.

(I'll add more to the list from time to time, but this is a selection that should help anyone with a basic math-science background get up to a basic competency understanding of Climate models)
