While we’re on the subject of climate alarmists, here’s fellow-lackey Noah Rothman pointing out an inconvenient truth:
There is perhaps no field of study (or commerce, as the case may be) as flawed as the climate-related catastrophic prediction market. The late 20th Century, contentions that a coming ice age and the “population bomb” would leave the planet as dystopian Hellscape by no later than the year 2000 should have shown all aspiring Malthusians the error of their ways. Unfortunately, the last generation’s example has not stopped their forbearers from staring dismally into computer models and warning of 50 million climate refugees by the year 2010 or the end of snow.
Alas, I don’t really expect the alarmists to calm down any time soon. In my experience, apocalyptic cults do not moderate their behavior when their apocalypses do not occur; they either double down, or implode. And they tend not to implode at the first opportunity. …Sorry? I can’t really do anything about this, either.

I so, so, SO should have been a meteorologist. Anybody who’s related in any way to predicting the weather is rarely accurate, never held to account, gets to be on tv and appears to make a good living.
And the hair, think of the hair man! 🙂
wonder what they’ll say when Canada is half covered by glaciers?
