| Dogs Rule said: You make good points and I'm not saying that the science is perfect, but my point was that one cannot attribute the short commings of meteorology with that of climatology. It is easier for climatologists, if their science is acurate, to say what the global temperature increase will aproximately be then for a meteorologist to say on Monday "Timmah!, you and your family can go to the park in such a city between such and such times and have a picnic because the rain will only occur later in the afternoon." The meteorologist is expected to tell you exactly what the weather will be several days in advance when if there was to be a rainstorm on Saturday it would still be too early for certain warning signs to manifest themselves. The climatologist's job is only to say that in year X, temperatures will average Y and situations of extreme weather will be Z. He will never try to say that in such a park, at such a date and time A years from now it will rain. |
Agreed. But it's still an educated guess. My problem is with the people who say "IT'S A FACT LIKE GRAVITY AND IF YOU DONT BELEEV IT UR STUPID!". It's really just an educated guess no matter how you slice it, and by tweaking equations, climatologists can pretty much make the system say whatever they want. My problem is not so much with their point of view, but with their certainty that they cannot be wrong.
EDIT: You didn't say anything about the media ignoring a fact that is contrary to their belief of constant, man made global warming. You know as well as I that if that large 12 month temp swing had been upward, it would have been EVERYWHERE with forbodings of doom and gloom, instead it gets buried because it does not fit the tagline. Why would they do that if they did not have some kind of agenda??
