Climate, or any other modelling, is fraught with problems. The real world is far too complex to quantify, and there are always exogenous factors. I really don't believe that anyone can predict the future.

I was just using this as one of many possible examples to point out that trends are often easier to predict than short term variations from the trend. The fact that summer is warmer than winter follows from the scientific fact that the earth's axis is tilted with respect to the ecliptic.
And no, it doesn't validate global warming, but nor does your argument that we cannot predict next week's weather invalidate GW
