>IPCC Climate Physicist Verifies Climate Model Predictions Are Worthless For Periods Longer Than A Decade

That's not what the Authors, Latif and Keenlyside, stated at all. It's the other way around. Latif and Keenlyside clearly stated they don't predict short term precipitation anomolies or El Nino/La Nina oscillations.

They also mentioned errors in prediction of LOCAL temperature varations of up to 10 C. The MODELs that the IPCC uses are for GLOBAL average temperatures. I don't think the models Latif and Keenlyside are refering too are the ones that the IPCC uses.

The chaotic nature of WEATHER makes it IMPOSSIBLE to predict these things. Climate models are not meant to predict WEATHER. Doesn't mean they're not useful. There are limitations to the models, as there are in ALL models in existence. None are perfect. Again, the deniers are putting words in the scientists mouths and distorting reality (as usual).

I could go on with other flaws in that "analysis". Nice try. As usual, you cut and paste from bullshit sources.
