Important output or errors that show the problem

ERROR: Current model year does not match year on initial conditions file (finid
 at)
 Current year:         2014
 Year on initial conditions file:         2012
  
 This match is a requirement when both:
 (a) The current run is a transient run, and
 (b) The initial conditions file was generated from a transient run
  
 Possible solutions to this problem:
 (1) Make sure RUN_STARTDATE is set correctly
 (2) Make sure you are using the correct initial conditions file (finidat)
 (3) If you are confident that you are using the correct start date and initial 
 conditions file,
     yet are still experiencing this error, then you can bypass this check by se
 tting:
       check_finidat_year_consistency = .false.

OK, we are going to hold off on doing anything here, and will talk about if we need this in a future CSEG meeting. As such we may close this as a won't fix.

Fixed by #3299 on the b4b-dev branch. Do not close until b4b-dev gets merged to master.
