Here’s the new desperate meme about to turn your weather report into
an advertisement for carbon trading. The people are not scared enough.
Say hello to scientismic marketing. It sure isn’t science.
The generators of Climate Fear start with broken models that we know don’t predict global temperatures, upper tropospheric humidity, Antarctic sea ice, and ocean heat (or much of anything else).
They then use these to model the chances of individual storms, or
floods — something they were not designed to do. Then they run these
mistakes 5 million times with and without the magic CO2 forcing. They
might as well stand back, look solemn, and pick a percentage or throw a
dart. The great thing is, only God knows the right answer. The models
can’t “miss”.
Was that flood 35% due to man-made emissions? Was that tornado 50% more deadly? (Did it rain on your wedding day? Sue someone!)
Of course, New Scientist swallows the theme whole, tea-leaves and all. No hard questions asked."

From the comments: New Scientist slid off the rails about thirty years ago, but don’t worry.
An excellent magazine called Viz came out around that time and is an ideal replacement."
