Why can data models predict the future climate but not the weather?
Why are weather forecasts often wrong but modelling of the future climate highly accurate? I would presume a more complex system over a longer period would be harder to predict.

YMMV I guess but the weather forecasts I have seen in the past several years have been extremely accurate.
