I thought climate and weather were different animals so to speak. Meaning that the problem that the meteorologists constant failure to predict accurately the weather 5 days from now can't be used against climatologists and their ability to predict the climate 1,000 years from now. And, since quite a few climatologists start out as geologists please ask them to tell me when the next volcano is going to erupt. They need to be specific and provide a date and time. We only need them to predict to the hour.

Now they find out that 90% of the temperature monitoring sites in the US are close enough to a heat sources as to make them inaccurate.

Have you figured out the difference between climatologists and meteorologists yet? Obviously not.

There is a big difference. Climatologists believe that history started in 1850, meteorologists don't. Meteorologist tell you that their models are not absolute, climatologists are convinced that their models are absolute.

Find me one climatologists who says his model is absolute. |
