Although these small time shifts are important for scientists to consider
over geologic
timescales, eclipse
predictions are still pretty good in the short term.
Global Temperature is an example of a bulk property, and it does indeed average out
over sufficient time scales; hence showing that whatever chaos, spatio - temporal or otherwise, is present in the system on short
timescales it does not affect our longer term
predictions.
For the problem where there is strong integral forcing
over the period of say a half century (such as greenhouse gas forcing), this is more predictable, but trying to tie down a
prediction on the
timescale of a decade just doesn't work owing to the temporal - spatio chaos that is present.
If your
predictions do not seem to come to pass, merely claim that simulations show that your
predictions will prove to be true
over timescales of many decades and that potential disasters will occur if your suggestions are not followed.
The thing that the climate modellers are trying to achieve is a
prediction of the effect of adding billions of tons of CO2 to our atmosphere
over the next hundred years — that is a human
timescale of two or three generations.

Prediction and Predictability (2010) Accurate forecasts of climate conditions
over time periods of weeks to a few years — called intraseasonal to interannual
timescales — can help people plan agricultural activities, mitigate drought, and manage energy resources.
