It's a different kind of prediction.

But we know more about predicting the weather than we do about predicting climate change. There are more variables, more unknowns, more assumptions in the climate models. Yet that is the major foundation of climate change 'science'. What Alfred P. Sloan state was all true.

I agree. Weather prediction is based on fluid dynamics models. The accuracy of weather prediction is based on the computational power running the model and the spatial and temporal resolution of inputs to the model.

There are more variables, more unknowns, more assumptions in the climate models.

Which necessarily follows because the factors that influence climate are more varied than the factors that influence weather.
