“Our climate experts can’t even accurately tell us where a hurricane will land in 48 hours.

Climate experts don’t forecast hurricanes. Meteorologists do that.”

Your reply sounds very academic. So why don’t we have the climate experts do the forecasting, so people will know precisely when, where, and with what intensity? Are the “climate experts” not allowed to speak?

See my profile, point #7. The way that meteorologists and climate scientists do their respective analyses/predictions is distinctly different. And what they actually do is different, too. A climate scientist might try to determine if tropical system rainfall has a decreasing or increasing trend over several decades along the U.S. East Coast. A meteorologist will try to predict where the impacts of each storm will be.
