| 1168996 | 2011-01-12 05:00:00 | They took payment and were successfully able to 'explain away', and this led to the beginnings of financial advisors, politicians, priests and meteorologists (including 'climatic disruption' experts).... :clap "Its sunny", where mk 1 eyeball would see there is 80% cloud cover. :clap ...and here's me thinking they licked their finger and stuck it out of the window. :thumbs: Half right. Just not out the window. :lol: Maybe the pics below explain why Mexico get good weather and the Middle East doesn't ;) especially the last one! Billy T - this thread needs to go in your Monday special ... |

| 1168998 | 2011-01-12 06:07:00 | Weren't we told by the Metservice weather-guessers in November/December that we would have a wetter-than-usual summer? Haven't had a lot of rain in Auckland recently (not that I'm complaining) - maybe Queensland is getting our weather.... Used to travel to Auckland from sunny Christchurch, 4 times a year for accounting conferences and it seemed to be always raining, so what's gone wrong up there ? too many pacific islanders bringing their sunshine south. Lurking. |

I liked this bit . Roman rise and fall 'recorded in trees' They found that periods of warm, wet summers coincided with prosperity, while political turmoil occurred during times of climate instability . And this . Global Warring: Climate Change Could Be The Root Of Armed Conflicts (July 10, 2007) — Fair go, well even if it were true, so what? It’s high time Governments throughout the World stopped wasting Tax Payers money (if indeed this is where the money is coming from) for this useless research . It’s mostly inconclusive speculation and of no consequence anyway . :rolleyes: |

The weather drys up or some other cataclysmic event affects your crops your hungry, can't feed the kids, the wife is giving you hell so you raid your neighbour because his crops did grow. Nothing scientific about it, it's natures survival of the fittest |

Nothing scientific about it, it's natures survival of the fittest Especially when you didn't have a refrigerator. I saw a doco a while ago on Estonia and it said they have an annual cheese festival that goes way back to celebrate the cheese season. The reason cheese was so important is that it was a way of storing food for the winter. But I do think these scientists are coming up with this research to justify their wages/contracts etc. |
