There are some source of predictability that are still not fully resolved (including those dealing with improving climate models, but also related to unexplored initial conditions or driving conditions), and a great benefit of these predictability studies is that they mimic the practice of weather prediction by confronting models with observations at the relevant time and spatial scales, leading to the necessary inspiration for this model improvement.

IMHO, this issue of inherent determinism in the current approach to doing basic climate research — i.e. near complete reliance on computer modeling as opposed to physical observation — is as important as is the physics - related question as to whether the climate itself behaves in a deterministic fashion relative to the CO2 content of the atmosphere.

In this second article we re-examine related events concerning the 1850/1880 CRU / Giss temperature records, and then pay particular attention to the reliability of those readings that have become the basis of our modern climate industry, examine those who carried out the original observations, and look at the circumstances under which data was collected.

This recent shift towards more intense and frequent El Niños is related to the recent increase in dry areas around the world.5 However, past observations and reconstructions of El Niño events from non-instrumental records such as corals show that El Niño events naturally fluctuate in magnitude and frequency over time, and this has been demonstrated in long climate model simulations of past and future climate as well.6
