UK: Met Office urges public to blow bubbles and count vapour trails to monitor climate
The Telegraph ^ | Friday 04 March 2011

Posted on 03/04/2011 8:15:53 AM PST by Ernest_at_the_Beach

The Met Office is urging people to blow bubbles and spot vapour trails as part of a national survey of Britain's climate.

The research, led by scientists at the Met Office and the Royal Meteorological Society, will look at various aspects of how humans are affecting the climate, and how people may adapt to rising temperatures.

People are being asked to look out for aeroplane trails, or contrails, which may be contributing to climate change and which can only be recorded by the human eye.

Researchers are also urging schoolchildren to blow bubbles to measure wind speed and direction near the ground, to reveal how the built environment affects the wind, as well as watching cloud movement to record wind direction in the sky.

The Open Air Laboratories (Opal) survey also involves the public recording how hot or cold they feel as part of efforts to see how people might cope with temperature changes.

Thousands of schools are set to take part in the public science project, along with members of the public.

H/T to Watts Up With That?:

Bubbleheaded Barking Mad Met Office Modelers

******************************EXCERPT*********************************

Posted on by Anthony Watts

From the organization that can’t forecast its way out of a paper bag, and then can’t bring itself to tell the public about long range forecasts anymore, it has come to this. OK, I’m not against citizen science, but when you start asking the “Chemtrail” watchers to do “science” to help check your models, there’s no hope for you. They apparently have no idea what they are getting themselves into asking for contrail watching. If they thought they were going to catch flak for long range forecast issues, just wait until the Chemtrail people start in on them.

*********************************snip*********************************

Check out these statements:

Researchers are also urging schoolchildren to blow bubbles to measure wind speed and direction near the ground, to reveal how the built environment affects the wind, as well as watching cloud movement to record wind direction in the sky.

The Open Air Laboratories (Opal) survey also involves the public recording how hot or cold they feel as part of efforts to see how people might cope with temperature changes.

Scientists are also keen to discover what confuses people about climate change so that they can widen public understanding of the topic.

Dr Geoff Jenkins of the Met Office said: “We’re asking people to get outside observing and measuring the weather.

“What they see and record will be useful for checking the systems we use for forecasting weather and predicting climate.”

How hot or cold they feel? Sure that will reduce the “uncertainty” The only thing missing is tea leaves or tarot card readers.

Barking mad they are. Either that or this is simply a propaganda tool to engage children in the idea that they can do something supposedly useful to “change the climate”.

I hear that soap residue in the upper levels of the atmosphere is a marvelous greenhouse gas...

Once the program is fully established expect to hear reports of kids being hauled off to education camps for playing soccer in their local field instead of paying attention to walking around blowing bubbles and staring up at the sky.
Of course their parents will face large fines.
