Just Warming Up

Articles like this one keep me infuriated regarding global warming/climate change. In the article, which isn’t even about global warming/climate change, a team of hurricane forecasters is basically characterized as irresponsible for predicting a year’s hurricane activity as much as six months in advance. But the same type of people chiding the hurricane team for making unfounded predictions and being wrong for several years in a row — even after adjusting forecasts in mid-season — are telling us what the planet’s climate is going to be like in 50 years, and they say the debate regarding their predictions is over, they are right, and that’s that. What the fuck.

I know hurricane activity isn’t necessarily akin to climate change, but these grossly inaccurate hurricane forecasters use “climate signals” to help them make their predictions. If these “climate signals” contribute to terrible predictions then what are the global warming alarmists using that make their calls so much more accurate so much further out?

Never mind. I should probably just shut up and let other people think for me, like reknown scientist Al Gore. The debate is over, after all.
