Can Climate Models Predict Climate Change?

Very true. We don't have enough data minute-by-minute to know what's happening right now. I'm a sailor. I've sat becalmed while others have sailed past me with fair breezes. How do you measure that? As a sailor I studied the weather. I can read weather maps and make some gross predictions by simple observations. My text, Sea and Air, published by the Naval Institute, spoke of the relationship of two fluid environments just as this presenter did. As he says, one fluid is unpredictable, the interactions between two is a total mystery. And, yes, "scientists" have been caught jiggering the data to suit their purposes.

Plus we still do not have enough data about the earth's past weather changes, we know that the earth tends to run in cycles of heating and ice ages, the temperatures in general around the time of the dinosaurs was much higher in average than our current weather. And we have actually just came out of an ice age about 50,000 years ago, how does that play into this weather pattern. The oceans control a large portion of our weather patterns with the thermal currents, this can be disrupted and change our weather patterns as well. My question is, over the last 3 year, 2015, 2016, 2017 in my neck of the woods two of those summer have been the mildest I can remember and even our local weather guy has stated that. Yet some are claiming our overall temp went up.
