There is nothing like the “woo-woo” factor of the television projections to KEEP people worried. This is the point made in the video link i posted of Bernie Rayno of Accuweather last night— “people are havng to make decisions for actions based on projections”... that is, guesswork, informed guesswork.
We are certainly better informed than the 1930s, or even Admiral Halsey was with his two typhoons that sank... US Navy warships as a result of sailing right into them!
The traffic, the travel, the inordinate interaction with people who do not have critical thinking skills on a “normal” day and freak when there are no french fries— you make an excellent point. Always— always boldface any projection as “the best we can guess”. Nature does not play with the “climate control” clowns— and this is proof positive we cannot affect “global warming”.
