It's sort of hard to fathom how people can generate such hatred of people they don't even know. All I can attribute it to is just blind hate of anyone smarter than you.
but the improvement in weather forecast accuracy that has taken place in the last 40 years is, in my opinion, one of the greatest achievements of humanity. Hardly the work of "jerks."
The accuracy with hurricane track forecasting is pretty astounding when you consider the complexity of the atmosphere. and has shown steady, slow improvement for decades. Unfortunately intensity forecasting is still an unsolvable problem.
ANYTIME you want to trade jobs, let me know. I would LOVE to work at a career where regaradless of my product, I was assured of a well-paying job.
Not to mention all those hot weather girls I would get to work with!!!
