I'm going to sue the weather channel for telling me it's going to rain, when it doesn't. Baseless lawsuit, poor analogy. Meteorology is not only a recognized science (as opposed to Human-Influenced-Climatology), but it is based on proven scientific principle, not hypotheized political opinion. The relationship between air pressure, moisture, and temperature has been not only widely known and documented for ages, but has been proven as well. Couple that with satellite evidence of these previously-mentioned factors, and a reasonably probable (though not unfailingly accurate) forecast can be made. Contrast that with politically-based rhetoric which substitutes mere theory with factual evidence and we have the difference between weather forcasting and Al Gore's movie. |
