What's the weather like?

And more on “global warming”.

At the start of the year the Met Office issued their seasonal forecasts and said that the weather would be warmer than average. They never mentioned floods.

A spokesman for the Met Office said: “Our seasonal forecast in April was not very accurate and we have to hold our hands up to that. It just demonstrates that seasonal forecasting is still in its infancy and we have to work at it to refine our forecasts.”

If they can’t predict weather three months ahead, how are we supposed to believe that they know what will happen in 50 years?
