Millions for the Met Office to carry on getting it wrong

Christopher Booker,Telegraph

Of course, the main reason why the Met Office’s record has become much worse than just a national joke is that it relies on computer models programmed to assume that the chief factor determining our changing climate is the steady rise in CO2. Hence all those “hotter, drier summers” and “warmer than average” winters. As its smug recent annual report shows, still nothing has led them to question that belief. Yet those same computer models are the basis not only for Britain’s crazy national energy policy, but also for the projections on which the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change relies to predict how the world’s climate will change over the next 100 years. Instead of giving them £97 million for yet another new computer, can anyone explain why we do not call the Met Office staff to account for perpetuating one of the most catastrophically influential scientific blunders in history?"
