William Gray and Phil Klotzbach say a look back shows their past 20 years of forecasts had no predictive value.
The two scientists from Colorado State University will still discuss different probabilities of hurricane seasons in December. But the shift signals how far humans are, even with supercomputers, from truly knowing what our weather will do in the long run.
Audrey - 1957 - I was almost three and slept through it.
Cindy - 1963 - First hurricane that I remember
Bonnie - 1986 - Watching all the transformers explode
Rita - 2005 - The sounds that I did not know my house could make & the roar
Humberto - 2007 - Got 2" of rain
Ike - 2008 - A long blow
Only people with oversized egos believe that mankind has caused global warming.
Scientific Consensus is an Oxymoron
So how will the insurance companies know how much to hike up our rates if we do not have these predictions?
