Forecasting weather and forecasting climate are two very different
things. It may be well be easier to forecast the climate for the next
few decades than it is to forecast the weather for the next three
months.

A very interesting point John, though I'm not sure your statement is
correct.
How successful have previous climate forecasts been in the past?
And at what stage does a weather forecast become a climate forecast?
