If you watch the ten day forecast, they often get tomorrow correct, along with, to a lesser degree, the day after tomorrow. But the tenth day forecast has a very small percentage, on average, of being even close. That’s why that section of the forecast changes almost daily. So, scientists, working with tenth of a degree increments, can forecast the temperature ten and twenty years hence? And, we should spend billions and billions of dollars on modifying that forecast?

Almost every article you read on global warming is a bid for funding. The more hysterical the forecast, the more likely they writer will get funding. This is how they make their living. And, like any other worker, they are trying to maximize their income. Global warming is bigger than the Bernie Madoff fraud.

Next time you are in some tourist restaurant on the coast, look at the photos of the beach. None of that area is under water. The beach in most places hasn’t moved much in a hundred years. It will look much the same a hundred years hence. At that point society will either be richer for not having bought the global warming scam, or we will be much poorer for the fraud.

“State of Fear” by Crichton is all about that. It exposes the political and money motivations and the tactics behind most causes to “save the planet”.

Well worth a read.

that’s because planetary “weather” is a chaotic system that’s been absolutely proven to be too complex to predict accurately beyond three days ... planetary weather is completely deterministic but simply to complex to predict very far into the future ... mixing two tablespoons of baking powder into three cups of flour is deterministic but too complex to compute particle locations after mixing a couple of seconds ... so, indeed, if weather is literally impossible to predict after only three days, then how in the hell can any intelligent, educated person expect that “climate”, which is many orders of magnitude more complex than weather and FAR less understood, be predicted decades into the future?
