Hasn't Al Gore already done this?
And it will be accurate for the first 5 days.
I hope it's smart enough to predict solar storms and volcanic erutpions 30 years in advance, or it's pretty worthless.
Don't tell me. Located in Kyoto.
...not that long... :)
Lemme guess...July 21st,2036 -- Paltry Croudy.
The score for all present and past supercomputers and software in predicting weather that has already happened is zero...
And those are what all "global warming" BS is based on...
Great, that's my brothers birthday and we have a picnic planned. He'll be 85,
Maybe, But Adrian Cronehauer beat him to it:
Can you help me? What's your name? "My name's Roosevelt E. Roosevelt."
Roosevelt, what town are you stationed in?. "I'm stationed in Poontang."
Well, thank you, Roosevelt. What's the weather like out there?
"It's hot. Damn hot! Real hot!
Hottest things is my shorts. I could cook things in it. A little crotch pot cooking."
Well, can you tell me what it feels like. "Fool, it's hot! I told you again!
Were you born on the sun? It's damn hot!
I saw-- It's so damn hot, I saw little guys, their orange robes burst into flames.
It's that hot! Do you know what I'm talking about."
What do you think it's going to be like tonight? "It's gonna be hot and wet!
That's nice if you're with a lady, but it ain't no good if you're in the jungle."
Thank you, Roosevelt. Here's a song coming your way right now.
Slight chance of showers alternating with sunny periods, dusting of snow at higher elevations, go ahead and plan the birthday picnic, just wear appropriate clothing, drink plenty of fluids and give thanks that a supercomputer has figured all this out for you.
That's impossible! 30 years from now there won't be an earth. Just ask Algore!
How did that work out? Did it 50% accuracy?
Evidently they've never heard of Chaos Theory or chaotic number systems, as in "when a butterly flaps its wings in Detroit the weather changes in Peking". I used to play around with computer simulations of chaotic positive feedback systems, and there's NO WAY to predict weather for more than a few days at a time.
"High in the low to mid-upper seventies for the 2025 80th Hiroshima anniversary..."
Here's my forecast: It'll be hot in Texas all summer, like through October. Then it'll get cool, then pretty cold in Jan-Feb, then hot again around May. Repeat.
Not even the most accurate supercomputer in the world can predict future climate trends. Things like asteroids, solar flares, nuclear bombs are a bit unpredictable.
"And it will be accurate for the first 5 days."
You're dreaming, they can't even get it right for tomorrow half the time.
I'm just glad that someone posted this. It reminded me that tomorrow is my brothers birthday. 55
