Seasonal cycles do not require a model. The discussion here is about weather and climate models.


I'm pretty sure that the Earth going round the Sun and the Earth's axis being slightly tilted counts as a model using which you can predict the seasons.


You are not wrong in arguing that the Copernican model is also a model. I think the discussion here is about computational stochastic models.

I also don't really need a model to predict warming in the summer and cooling in the winter. A lookup table should suffice.

Edit: Can't believe parent is getting downvoted for asking a question that people disagree with.
