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.

I think the predictions people are looking for regarding weather are far more precise.
For example the prediction about climate that comes to my mind is “the average temperature of earth will rise”.
(Stuff like a rising water level are direct conclusions of this one very vague prediction.
But if you are talking about weather you want to know what will the temperature be next Tuesday at exactly 4 pm in this very specific city.
Another thing to keep in my mind with weather you get a new chance to check the predictions everyday.
While with climate it needs a few years to get an answer.
