But even that becomes iffy, as minor differences in initial conditions diverge completely ~6 months as a prediction.
The more general you are with climate, the chances that you are 'correct' goes up, while precision drops like a rock.
That’s what Hansen says. It’s a lot easier to predict long term climate change trends on a global scale than it is to predict relatively short term local weather trends.
