I disagree - it's a chaotic system, chaotic as in fractal chaos theory
chaotic, meaning that a small change in one spot can cause a big change
elsewhere, butterfly effect and all that.

So we see whole ocean flows change in a period of 3 years or less, and
the consequence being England goes from quite balmy to ice and snow all
year round, and vice versa.

And, in one person's lifetime.

Long term global weather is a chaotic system.

Long term global anthropogenic temperature effects are currently most
politely described as "scientific theory" - and frankly that's a bit
generous - humans being human and all, mathematical models "attempting
to prove weather science" are not exactly solid beyond a few weeks.

But hey, I'm just a conspiracy theorist, don't mind me :)
