Climate "Scientists"- The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight

Climate "science" seems to have tipped over into the limbo of postmodern relativism. More the facts defy it's predictions, more hysterically alarming the warnings of coming of doom become. Reminds me of the 70's movie-"The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight"

Now Andrew Bolt has The 10 worst warming predictions.

They include "GIANT HAILSTONES WILL SMASH THROUGH YOUR ROOF ", "ISLANDS WILL DROWN" and "GOODBYE, NORTH POLE".

Bolt's post has such gems as-
(The British Met Office) has so far predicted 2001, 2002, 2004, 2005 and 2007 would be the world’s hottest or second-hottest year on record, but nine of the past 10 years it predicted temperatures too high.
In fact, the Met this month conceded 2008 would be the coldest year this century.

That makes 1998 still the hottest year on record since the Medieval Warm Period some 1000 years ago. Indeed, temperatures have slowly fallen since around 2002.

As Roger Pielke Sr, Professor Emeritus of Colorado State University’s Department of Atmospheric Science, declared this month: “Global warming has stopped for the last few years.”

Lesson: Something is wrong with warming models that predict warming in a cooling world, especially when we’re each year pumping out even more greenhouse gases. Be sceptical.
