The people pushing it just can’t help but lie – from the PJ Tattler:
…meteorologists are judged on results: if you get the predictions wrong too often, or by too much, you’re not doing your job. So when the Meteorological Office in the UK predicted “another warm winter” for this year, and got instead the coldest snowiest winter in perhaps as much as a thousand years, it was a bit of a scandal, and difficult to explain.
A Met Office source leaked an explanation to Roger Harrabin at the Telegraph: there was a secret report to the government that had predicted the cold winter, so it wasn’t the Met Office’s fault if Government hadn’t done enough…
A secret weather forecast? The PM got together Britain’s top forecasters for a double secret probation conference?
No, not that. More than likely, the meteorologists just did their thing and their thing didn’t match what the global warming zealots wanted…”coldest winter in 1,000 years” is very hard to square with “we’re warming every year”. Coming hard on all the stories of outright fraud underlying the global warming assumptions, my guess is that someone in government spiked the real weather prediction and was just hoping the meteorologists got it wrong and the winter would turn out, if not very warm, at least not very cold.
Anyone who is still holding that anthropogenic global warming is “settled science” is just blowing smoke – the world may, indeed, be warming up as part of a long term trend, but it is abundantly clear by now that if it is doing this, we don’t know why. And, so, any efforts to curb human CO2 emissions in the name of AGW are folly. Still go ahead and curb them because pollution is bad, but don’t try to sell an end-of-the-world story as part of your effort.
