James Randi has a million bucks for them if they can prove it.

Let’s see if I understand. If there is a spike in their data, they can then search the world and see if anything has happened to explain it. If nothing happens of any significance, they can wait as long as they want and the further away the spike is from the event in time, the more powerful a predicter it is. It doesn’t yet “predict” what will happen or when it will happen or where it will happen, but it is spookily accurate.

Hold me, I’m scared!

Yep, even if there is a legitimate phenomenon it’s so diffuse and generalized it’s useless.

The only reports I find interesting is that it ( as they say it does ) spiked ( for 9/11 ) 4 hours before it happened, and 24 hours ( and the animals moved inland ) before the tsunami hit.
