Meteorologist: Gore climate theory 'ridiculous'(We're brainwashing our children)

Will Gore return his trophy and will the committee accept it?

“Global warming” will silently morph into “Climate Change”, and once there it will be forever safe since the climate is always, well, changing.

[popdonnelly]

We’d better back this guy. He’s liable to be blacklisted as a “Global Warming Denier”.

It’s interesting that the people who complain stridently about McCarthyism are actually its practitioners. Smears, blacklisting, forcing people out of their professions.

Because they hate others using their MO.:-)

"It bothers me that my fellow scientists are not speaking out against something they know is wrong," he said. "But they also know that they'd never get any grants if they spoke out. I don't care about grants."

sickening. the feds don't allocate funds to study something that isn't a global crisis, therefore everything has to become a global crisis.

[TigerLikesRooster]

Only for the politically correct crisis.:-)

Weather is a (relatively) local phenomenon and very chaotic, while climate is a much larger scale phenomenon and less chaotic. Well, that’s the assumption of the climatologists, anyway, and they have models based on this assumption that prove it! ;)

I’ve sometimes wondered whether weather forecasts are any more accurate than a random selection from actual observed weather on the same date in previous years would be. They do usually get reasonably close on temperatures, but for cloud cover and precipitation they’re often far off.

“We’ll look back on all of this in 10 or 15 years and realize how foolish it was,” Gray said.

Heck, I don’t have to wait 10 or 15 years — I already know this is foolishness.

[Ditto]

When the entire “Global Warming” phenomenon is proven bogus mass hysteria, will Al Gore have to give the awards back?

These people never apologize. They just move on to the next scam.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

Bingo!

"We'll look back on all of this in 10 or 15 years and realize how foolish it was," Gray said.

...but the government departments and programs, as well as their tax burden, will last forever.

Someone stop the madness!

I suspect you'd be better off in most places just playing a recording of what the weather was yesterday. I figure you'd come up considerably better than chance.

They run in cycles. They will be exactly right for a while and then wrong for a while. One year 30% chance of snow means no snow. Next year 30% chance of snow means three inches count on it.
