... or model the climate. Their “models” turn out to have no predictive power — in other words, they’re not good models.
That’s why they have to scream “CONSENSUS!!! NO MORE DISCUSSION!!! CASE CLOSED!!!” so loudly; they can’t stand on their own science.
We live on the Gulf coast so know that it is probably going to rain somewhere sometime during the day, particularly if it cloudy. So if it raining at your house it probably isn’t raining where you are going.
My son lives two miles from me. He had two inches of rain yesterday, we did not have a drop. Forecasters had predicted 10%. We just always take an umbrella and sunglasses wherever we go - it’s always one or the other.
