I would bet that climate models are as poor with oceans as they are with clouds. So even if they could model clouds reasonably well (LMFAO at that), they would still have to master modelling oceans for climate models to be of any use.
The challenge appears insurmountable. A massive leap in real time planet wide data collection would be needed along with computing power to process it. I won’t say “never”, but it seems like cold fusion will be a reality long before we can model long term climate.
Man proposes.
God disposes.
