Perspective matters, rhhardin.
Mother Nature speaks truth to power. Notably, clouds are poorly simulated with scientific estimates or guesses. One of many phenomena that are incompletely or insufficiently characterized, and incompletely and insufficiently represented in low resolution models, even with ever massively scaled computing resources. The oversight to confluence of minor processes is second only to the observation of underwhelming consensus with first-order processes.
