“It is too difficult for us to figure out what the weather will do because of climate change.”
What it is—is the dumbing down of the weather forecaster profession so they can’t count their fingers and toes any more.
They have created all of these scary terms to describe the weather conditions, like some kind of river. I think that they just like using them. Also, I think that college interns take over jobs in the media around holidays and they are always more radical and more political. I know that used to happen at the WSJ. I called them on it one time when the interns were running the editorial pages at the WSJ. The person admitted it and asked how I knew. LOL.
