On a completely unrelated subject...

Here's why I cannot believe the histrionics about man-made global warming. On Friday, July 3rd, I checked the weather forecast for the 4th of July fireworks. The 8 day outlook was as follows:
Saturday the 4th: rain the AM, clearing by noon, cloudy for the remainder of the day
Sunday the 5th: overcast to partly sunny
Mon-Fri the 6th - 10th: sunny with gradually warming temps climbing to the 90s by Friday.

The actual weather? It rained until 5pm Saturday the 4th, and stayed overcast all night. Sunday and Monday were as predicted, but Tuesday afternoon widely scattered showers moved in, and the rain is predicted to stay all week. Oh and the temperatures are in the 70s, about 15 degrees lower than the original forecast.

If you cannot predict with any degree of accuracy the weather 4 days into the future, why should I believe you know what the weather is going to be 10, 20 or 50 years from now? And even if you could predict it, what evidence is there that you could control it? Puh-lease!

Man-made global warming is a hoax.
