Oddly enough, the group of people who have most accurately predicted weather in recent years are the writers of the Farmer’s Almanac. There is a reason many American<\/a> farmers rely on their advice on when to plant and when to harvest–they are generally right.<\/p>\n

On Monday The Daily Caller<\/a> posted an article about the successful prediction record of The Farmer’s Almanac vs. the global warming people.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Who cares what a folksy book of hocus pocus for farmers says about the weather? We know better. Al Gore<\/a>, Barack Obama<\/a>, and the supposed<\/a> consensus of 97 percent of climate scientists all say global warming, climate change, is real. They base their reasoning on \u201csolar cycles, climatology, and meteorology\u201d which happens to be what the Old Farmer\u2019s Almanac<\/a> uses<\/a> for its forecast too.<\/strong><\/p>\n

So who\u2019s right? Last year the Almanac predicted<\/a>, \u201cSnowfall will be above normal in most of the Northeast.\u201d Turns out Boston<\/a> set a new record for the snowiest season. Eight years ago, \u201cAl Gore predicted<\/a> that the North Pole<\/a> could be completely liquidated by 2014 due to the impending threat of global warming.\u201d Instead the Arctic ice cap<\/a> is growing<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It seems global warming only exists in the world of computer models. And how accurate are these predictions? When tropical storm Sandy<\/a> became a hurricane, the forecast track<\/a> was all over the map, literally. Most models had her heading to Bermuda and only a few tracks leading to the New York metro area<\/a>. This was only five days before she made landfall in New Jersey.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is ironic that the people who have been so often wrong are the ones guiding\u00a0U.S. energy, economic, and foreign policy. It is also ironic that none of the computer models that have predicted global warming have proven to be accurate. The global warming debate has consistently been an area where politics has trumped science. That is unfortunate for all of us.<\/p>\n

Just as a reminder in case you are new to this site, the best website on the Internet for information on global warming is wattsupwiththat.com<\/a>. On occasion the site can be a bit overly technical, but it is a great source of information on climate change.<\/p>\n
