I have great difficulty believing any of this especially when the same climatologists can't tell me correctly what the weather will be like this week. Add to that the fact that when ever it has flood here they have been unable to even guesstimate the amount.

Could it be that the hot air being emitted by the "chicken little" "we're all going to die because of the SUV" crowd are the ones that are the cause of all this. I think so.

Exactly. They can't tell you if it's going to rain 72 hours from now without stating a given margin of error, but we're supposed to take them for their word about something that was suppose to have happened 100 million years ago?!

Climatologists are not meteorologists. Weather events are caused by variability in the ongoing flow of Earth's atmosphere, so weather models are based on fluid dynamics calculations. Climatology uses General Circulation Models (GCMs), which are based on energy and material fluxes between the upper and lower atmosphere, the surface, and the oceans.

So you have to learn to blame the right people!
