Well, at least we have a teachable moment. Hurricane Irene shows us how our current computer models can’t accurately predict either the size, strength, or precise location of a hurricane within hours of it making landfall. Yet we’re supposed to radically change our entire economy over what computer models are forecasting regarding the impact carbon dioxide theoretically will have on the climate decades out.

One is not like the other. Meteorological prediction is not the same as climatological predictions. Trying to conclude that climate change is a false theory because of the hurricane predictions is pseudo science at best. NOAA was accurate for the most part regarding Irene. The storm surge predictions were given in percentages of likelihood beginning at 2 feet which did occur in most places. At no point did NOAA predict a hard and fast figure on expected storm surges. The projected path and speed of Irene by NOAA was almost 100 percent accurate. Your conclusion is illogical.
