When we throw a tennis racket with spin about one specific axis we cannot predict the tumbling motion .. that's weather.

What we can do is predict the arc of motion of the centre of gravity .. that's climate.

It's a no-brainer that anybody who confuses the two and hasn't put in the work to raise their understanding to intermediate axis instability is below the bar for admission to grown up climate modelling discussions.
