It seems like just an example of the ergodic theory where if you, say, 
long-term average the monthly temperature of a single point on the globe 
with the same latitude and altitude you're likely to get the short-term 
average of all similar points.

Kinda interesting, AFAIK it has certainly not been conclusively proved 
that climate is an ergodic system but some data may be "good enough for 
rock and roll", but as the kids say these days - "not really relevant."
