Of course, the main reason why the Met Office’s record has become much worse
than just a national joke is that it relies on computer models programmed to
assume that the chief factor determining our changing climate is the steady
rise in CO2. Hence all those “hotter, drier summers” and “warmer than
average” winters. As its smug recent annual report shows, still nothing has
led them to question that belief. Yet those same computer models are the
basis not only for Britain’s crazy national energy policy, but also for the
projections on which the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
relies to predict how the world’s climate will change over the next 100
years.
Instead of giving them £97 million for yet another new computer, can anyone
explain why we do not call the Met Office staff to account for perpetuating
one of the most catastrophically influential scientific blunders in history?"
