Uh-oh: Brit Climate Change Gurus ready to fry the Met Office for overly warm climate predictions?

The “Met Office” is one of the Biggest Boys when it comes to climate change / global warming – and has been sounding the alarm for the last few years.  And now, those that have been, you know, living through those years are saying “hey, what the hay? Can’t you hit your own marks?” (emphasis mine):

The Guardian, 14 June 2013: Climate scientists and meteorologists are meeting next week to debate the causes of UK’s disappointing weather in recent years.

The Met Office’s temperature forecasts issued in 12 out of the last 13 years have been too warm. None of the forecasts issued ended up too cold. That makes the errors systemic and significant.

“Which begs other, rather important questions. Could the model, seemingly with an inability to predict colder seasons, have developed a warm bias, after such a long period of milder than average years? Experts I have spoken to tell me that this certainly is possible with such computer models. And if this is the case, what are the implications for the Hadley centre’s predictions for future global temperatures? Could they be affected by such a warm bias? If global temperatures were to fall in years to come would the computer model be capable of forecasting this?”

Looks like the British “boffins” may be about to experience an unpredicted severe thunderstorm.  Good – there should be a consequence for “crying wolf” and making politicians spend other peoples’ money for, well, lying.  Politicians hate to be seen to be fools…and they won’t go down alone.

The knives are coming out (after all, they’ve already gotten rid of their guns).
