re: #66 Bagua

Well… weather forecast and climate forecast are not identical. One deals with short term local events with much chaos, the other looks at longer range forecast and regional and global averages.

The MET has been in the doghouse in recent years for predicting dry scorching summers based upon their climate models that ended up cool and with historic flooding. They got it wrong three years in a row.

While they can legitimately argue that their longer range forecasts are likely to have less error, it certainly did not help their public image.

I worry about the science of it, plain and simple. There’s been too much so-called science lately that started with suppositions, and ended with answers that miraculously supported them.

The money involved in this is staggering. Every market crash in history - combined - might not have the impact upon our lives and our planet as a wrong-headed dogma about warming might.

I want people to be way more than careful about this, and I’m not getting that vibe. There’s a vibrant supposition that if we don’t do something - anything - soon, that there will be a calamity of previously unexperienced magnitude.

Excuse me…
