I know it's about the effects of one specific system. My post is more whining about clickbaity titles.
What? It's literally about not knowing what system or systems is causing this. There's no clickbait. They are mystified. That is a fact.
The clickbait part is the “D’uh” that scientists are mystified by January being hottest. No, models predicted a medium term trend caused by El Niño that didn’t seem to happen
Models are never perfect, will always be tweaked to try to improve accuracy. That’s pretty much the definition of science. There will always be something not yet accounted for, and people working to account for it. Yet that title makes it look like predictions are wrong. While that may be true in the details, from our perspective nothing has changed. Maybe this is the real problem with today’s society: technical details that always interested those of us interested in science, engineering, data, are now pushed to everyone. Most people don’t have the perspective to really understand and the clickbait headlines try to instill an outrage that is not appropriate
Why do we need to be outraged by small inaccuracies in the model that do not affect the overall prediction nor even most of the details. That will likely not be noticeable to the rest of us
