“ My prediction is more Category 5 hurricanes. Or not. ”
So EVERY spring they predict this. And of course “climate change” is the reason they give.
And then it doesn’t happen.
But no one ever goes back in November and says “bad science, you blew it , your predictions were garbage“.
They get away with it.
But one year WE WILL have a bad and destructive season.
Then they (whoever “they” is) will claim, “see we told you climate change is real, WE NEED IMMEDIATE ACTION”
It is the same for people who predict large drops in the stock market. No one every calls them out as they are useful idiots to get the rubes to sell in a bull market.
