I don't know much details, but I imagine you could test the program with a subset of the data. And maybe finding a faster algorithm could help, too. If the programs are as horrible as they were described, there is a chance they are not optimal. Maybe it's possible to start with some small parts, and gradually add more functionality.
I think it's a quite challenging task. It needs knowledge about climate science. It needs knowledge about software architecture and organizing a big and complex project. It needs knowledge about statistics and efficient algorithms for them.
It might be interesting to think about funding sources for such a project.
Given the political nature is there someone interested in funding a project that might not provide the answer skeptics want but that also criticises the establishment of climate scientists in some sense?
Could you motivate climate skeptics to donate money via kickstarter or indiegogo for such an open source project? What about Google.org?
Are there companies that would pay good money for better predictions about the weather in 5 years?
