Hi guys,

I was trying to use xray to look at CMIP5 data (e.g. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1392864/rlut_Amon_BCC-bcc-csm1-1_rcp85_r1i1p1.nc), and the time dimension seems to fail. If I call

```

dset["time.year"] ... File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/xray/core/dataset.py", line 59, in _get_virtual_variable data = getattr(date, var_name) AttributeError: 'Index' object has no attribute 'year' ```

And thereafter I get

```

dset ... File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/xray/core/indexing.py", line 371, in array return self.array.values.astype(dtype) TypeError: Cannot cast datetime.date object from metadata [D] to [ns] according to the rule 'same_kind' ```

Is this all because the run goes to 2300?

Thanks! Jonah
