The weather is notoriously difficult to predict more then a few days in advance. Even with our modern technology of satellites and doppler radar weather people are regularly embarrassed by the fickleness of Mother Nature. Perhaps weather people should make their best scientific guess and then sign off with this final offer for the immediate future.
“Tomorrow there will be periods of variability mixed with a chance of stability. As with the rise and fall of the sun temperatures will follow. Isn’t it like that every day? Good luck everyone!”
Cartoonists have got the idea and have come up with some clever general purpose CYA forecasts.
(Search for church of climatology to find the one above)
People who know how variable and surprising the weather can be learned to spoof Al Gore’s arrival at his next appearance to trumpet his Global Warming scare. They would note how the weather was cold or snowing upon his arrival. It happened so often that it became known as the ‘Gore effect’
And yet climate scientists like to pretend that they know how the climate will evolve over the next 100 years. Al has a game for that.
According to Al whatever the weather outside your window it is due to climate change.
Bette Midler has learned that lesson well.
There is nothing in Al’s world that can invalidate his predictions which makes his theory useless. That which explains everything explains nothing. Might as well say the weather is what it is because it is what it is. Pay me.
You can take this to the bank people. Tomorrow we will have weather in our climate.
