This is the same as Paul Ehrlich from the 70’s. (I think that was the name). He of global cooling fame who predicted mass starvation in...nine years ago.

There were actually maroons on here pointing to this guy’s cooked up data. (Note to maroons: Replacing common sense with a web site isn’t very smart).

Once again: Can you tell me the weather ten days from now? No; then how on earth can you predict it fifty years from now?

Actually, weather and climate are different things and they can be studied independently, though of course there are relationships between them.

Not that any reliability is possible anyway. But they are different. :-)

Can you tell me where that tropical storm will be 2 days from now? Sure. Maybe in Texas, maybe in Ohio, maybe in Maine, maybe half way to Europe, maybe back in the gulf where it started. Earlier today they showed it going through Chicago. These are all different short-range models and they disagree horribly. So, how can we expect different models looking out years are going to look? However they want them to.
