How Eco-Journalists Promote The ‘Weather Is Climate’ Scam
When did journalists start confusing weather and climate predictions? A long time ago it seems.
Consider New Scientist in August 2008 which asked, “What’s going to happen to the climate over the next ten years or so?”— even though climate change is considered a 30-year assessment. [emphasis, links added]
It pointed out that short-term predictions are harder than long-term ones – which, might I suggest, is due to the difference between pesky, unpredictable weather and its smoothed, time-averaged derivative – climate.
It adds that some groups have published short-term forecasts (perhaps another name for these could be long-range ‘weather forecasts.’).
It then makes its own calamitous prediction: “Surface temps will start to rise again by 2014 and then go into overdrive.” They didn’t.
