  Abstract: Palaeoclimatic studies and models provide valuable assets for the understanding of the profound changes that the Earth's planet and its planetary envelope risk to undergo in a near future – models of sustainable development at decanal to centurial time scales, while feeding on palaeoclimatic data, must take into account both the diversity and the 'turbulence' (sub-window scale fluctuations and shed entropy) to develop series of space-time nested models defined by their time-space spectral window.
  Keywords: chaos; diversity; turbulence; spectral windows nested models; sustainable development; sustainability; palaeoclimatic modelling; climate variables.
