and yet for all of their training and models, they cant predict crap. all of their models have been wrong. and without their fancy shmancy models, i have done a better job predicting weather cycles than the climate scientists

"You don't seem to understand that scientists and statisticians can take the information they have and work out probability tables e.g. the dramatic increase in major weather events worldwide."

Uh excuse me Koan, you don't seem to understandd that many of the same questions are being raised by ----- other scientists. Duh.

There hasn't been an increase in major weather events.

Take major hurricane events in the US, for example:

NOAA: US Hurricane Strikes Have Dropped More Than 25% Over The Last 150 Years

[ Remember after Katrina when we were told the climate models said HURRICANES were going to become more frequent and severe due to too much of the trace gas CO2 in the atmosphere? ]
