There is a lot wrong in this post but I will only comment on the bigger picture. Don’t confuse weather with climate. Climate models are not trying to make the deterministic predictions of weather models. While both use the N-S equations on a rotating sphere plus diabatic processes, the application is different. Climate models are trying to capture the longer term trends.

As the population grows, newer more moderate areas will attract people to help reduce existing city overpopulation issues. If there is more precipitation, droughts will end. Virtually all predictions have a probability function.

Weather cycles are thousands of years long. Perhaps millions. Both warming and cooling. The speck of time is a blip on that scale. Weather forecasting is often still a 50/50 guess even 24 hours in the future. Predicting 100 years is impossible. Especially with the "long range" (3 to 6 month) forecasts being wrong more than they are right. There are too many unpredictable and unknown external factors that cause a shift.
