Predicting how climate change will alter the weather is becoming a flourishing business.


Predicting is the business, being accurate, not much.

Risk assessment is real and valid. But, some risk you accept because you cant do anything about it. Those used to be called Acts of God. Others you manage, but you NEVER eliminate risk!

But since there are no longer acts of God, they are acts of men and thus our dilemma, we think we can control the risk.

And we don’t have a science good enough to embrace the system with its nuances and complexities. However we have at least as much empirical support for a SWAG that man’s feeble fires will do very little to the earth’s climate, as for the current SWAG masquerading as actual science that they will send the earth’s climate into unlivable torrid conditions.

And what happened to the old fear of an impending ice age? If human generated CO2 has managed to bump our thermostat up, might that not be fortuitously just in time for the big chill?
