heh, I just type a reasonable sounding forcast after looking at the models. Last night my wife called me at work--she wanted to leave the clothes on the line. The MM5 (a mesoscale simulation run locally at the University of Washington) showed very little if any precipitation--and no obvious Puget Sound Convergence Zone. "Sure, leave the clothes on the line" It rained, well drizzled, at our house off and on much of the day--the PSCZ. So there you are. That's what I do. I have not followed Gore, I ought to rent his movie--but after we finish off the series House, I have some Battlestar Galactica and more Deadwood DVDs to rent. I ain't sayin' nuttin' 'bout no global warmin' t'nite ;-) Here is a fun quote that I will paste however: "Hurricane forecaster William Gray of Colorado State University is a leading proponent of this natural-variability viewpoint. He calls the new study's conclusions "ridiculous." Gray agrees that the sea data show warmer ocean temperatures — but he disagrees that the data rule out natural variation. usatoday.com Natural Variation, hmmm. There might be something to that. It is too strong to call the conclusions of the paper "ridiculous" however--he ought to fire back a paper of his own.
