'Mega droughts and extreme floods': World Met Office mocks up 2050 weather report...
Daily Mail ^ | September 1, 2014 | JONATHAN O'CALLAGHAN

The World Meteorological Organization (WMO), headquartered in Geneva, is releasing videos that predict what weather reports will be like in 2050

These are based on what happens if climate change is allowed to continue

Earth's average temperature could rise by more than 4°C (7.2°F) by the end of the 21st century, according to researchers

This could lead to more extreme weather around the world such as storms, droughts and flooding

The videos are being released ahead of the UN Climate Summit 2014

What will weather reports be like in 2050? Rather dramatic and unnerving if climate change gets out of hand, researchers have claimed. In a series of videos the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) will reveal how the effects of global warming could affect our planet in the future.

The fictional weather reports describe how droughts, floods and heat waves could cause problems in the next 30 years.

How will climate change impact our weather in the year 2050?
Watch “weather reports from the future”

If humanity’s greenhouse gas emissions continue to increase, the average temperature of the Earth’s lower atmosphere could rise more than 4°C (7.2°F) by the end of the 21st century. But what does a global average temperature rise really mean? How would we experience it on a daily basis?

To find out what could lie in store, the WMO invited television weather presenters from around the world to imagine a “weather report from the year 2050.” What they created are only possible scenarios, of course, and not true forecasts. Nevertheless, they are based on the most up-to-date climate science, and they paint a compelling picture of what life could be like on a warmer planet.

These worst-case futures do not need to happen. WMO is launching these videos during the month of September to support the UN Secretary-General’s call for world leaders from government, finance, business, and civil society to support ambitious action on climate change at the UN Climate Summit on 23 September.

Links to the videos, hosted at www.youtube.com/wmovideomaster, are available below on the date scheduled for their release:

Yet they can't get next weekend's weather prediction correct.

They’d say that weather prediction and climate prediction are inherently different. Weather is short term; but “science” enables them to see where the overall climate is headed.

Hahaha.

Brought to you by ALGORE & Co., these clowns cannot predict the weather 30 days from now, but are sure of the weather 36 YEARS from now.

The entire “Climate Change” song and dance is now in it’s death spiral.

ALGORE should be made to explain himself.

Weather forecast for tomorrow and the rest of the week would be more helpful. And maybe - just maybe! - more accurate!

There must always be an existential threat in order to validate an NWO agenda. In my lifetime it’s been the Soviets, UFO’s, asteroids, global warming, Y2K, climate change, Islam, peak oil and solar flares.

Dummies don’t realize that people will not watch the weather report because Ow! My Balls! is on.

These are based on what happens if climate change is allowed to continue.

This assumes the computer models are correct. The faults with them are too numerous to list here. It assumes we have the ability to control climate change, an assumption so disconnected from reality it is knee slapping funny. It assumes that if we could alter the climate we could agree on what it should be. It assumes if we tried changing the climate that we would not screw it up and make the situation worse. This in spite of a long history of doing exactly that virtually every time we have tried to "manage" nature.

The local forecaster missed the temperature this weekend by 12 degrees on Friday and 10 on Saturday. (I don't know about yesterday, didn't bother to check)

I'm by no means a weather forecaster, but IMO, when the local expert can't get things right, locally, on about 12 hours of notice .... How can I believe a bunch of bureaucrats predicting the weather on a global scale 36 years from now?

Hubris, indeed.

I go back to a basic scientific principle...
A theory is a basis for testing, and is only considered proven when the formulations generate reliable predictable results.

When the theory gives us predictions that continuously fail...
Continuously rising temperatures beyond historical norms,
Melting ice caps,
Catastrophic sea level rises,
Super-hurricanes,
Et all...

One must eventually review whether the core theory was valid.

However, this is not what we see in the current climate science community. We see actual data being revised to fit the curve, rather than the curve being revised to reflect the real current technologically accurate data. We see historical data being revised to fit the curve when it doesn’t meet the retrograde models. We see macro predictions ignored.

The story of Chicken Little is so apropos as to be almost prophetic:
He didn’t understand that was was happening around him was actually a very normal cyclic weather event, so he went around in hysterics claiming the world was about to end and trying convince everyone else how cataclysmic the situation was...

The difference being that Chicken Little didn’t become a billionaire Nobel laureate in the process.

I would be happy if they could get the weather prediction correct for even tomorrow! It’s amazing to watch gulf coast forecasters try to make every small formation into a possible hurricane.

I predict sharknados well inland instead of merely on the coasts.

And yet, here we are in a time of elevated carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases, and the weather over the last ten years has been remarkably calm.

What it is about their model that up to this point, the change in the atmosphere has a calming effect, but a slightly greater change will lead to mega-storms?

Do they even pretend to have a rational basis for this sort of thing, anymore?
