Predictions

Want to make a weather prediction?

Go ahead. Do it.

When it comes to predicting hurricanes, your guess (why not just write numbers 1 -20 on paper, put them into a pot, and select one) is as good as the experts. And perhaps more accurate.

Last year some expert "predicted" a total of 17 or 18 hurricanes based on his scientific knowledge of weather patterns and his feel for political correctness. Last year not a single hurricane touched the United States if my old memory serves me correctly.

This year the "expert" predicted 17 hurricanes with a likely five being severe storms.

As of today -7 August 2007- not a single hurricane has been sighted in the western hemisphere.

Where did they go?

Maybe the hurricanes did not get the memo from Algore saying global warming causes more hurricanes and more "severe" hurricanes.

I predict the sun will rise tomorrow.
