Dire weather predictions are still a part of the Global Warmening catechism; see anything Al Gore has said/produced on the matter. Religious fervor should be confined to the subject of religion; see anything Muslim fundamentalists have said/produced on the matter.

These attempts to predict the weather are basically folly. I would even say they do more harm than good since people think we can predict the weather.

James Gleick in his book "Chaos" points out how difficult it is to use computer models for weather prediction. Even slight errors in input can change the results enough to make the process useless.

Whether it be hurricane predictions or global warming predictions we are being duped by publicity seeking scientists who use computer modeling to secure notoriety and perhaps even funding. "Junk Science" is not a strong enough term.

Weather prediction should remain short term where it can do the most real good. We are wasting limited resources chasing after the ability to see the future. The massive failure of the weather "industry" on the hurricane season exposes them for what they are.

New Orleans made some kind of deal with the Lucifer dead worshipping wind and quake controllers to avoid a second one.

Next year it's worse for the Luciferain dead worhipping New Orleanians!
