Farmers’ Almanac more accurate than Gov't Climate Scientists

It proves that if you make it profitable for a scientist to support your agenda, they will support your agenda.

Report: Farmers’ Almanac more accurate than gov’t climate scientists. This exceptionally cold and snowy winter has shown that government climate scientists were dead wrong when it came to predicting just how cold this winter would be, while the 197-year old Farmers’ Almanac predicted this winter would be “bitterly cold”.

Bloomberg Businessweek reports that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Climate Prediction Center (CPC) predicted temperatures would be “above normal from November through January across much of the lower 48 states.”

This, however, was dead wrong. As Bloomberg notes, the CPC underestimated the “mammoth December cold wave, which brought snow to Dallas and chilled partiers in Times Square on New Year’s Eve.”

Who could have predicted such a harsh winter? The Farmers Almanac did, according to a CBS News report from August 2013. The nearly 200-year old publication hit newsstands last summer and predicted that “a winter storm will hit the Northeast around the time the Super Bowl is played at MetLife Stadium in the Meadowlands in New Jersey,” and also predicted “a colder-than-normal winter for two-thirds of the country and heavy snowfall in the Midwest, Great Lakes and New England.”

“We’re using a very strong four-letter word to describe this winter, which is C-O-L-D. It’s going to be very cold,” Sandi Duncan, the almanac’s managing editor, told CBS News in August.

While there was thankfully no snow on Super Bowl Sunday, those sad Broncos fans trying to get back home from New Jersey had some trouble as snow started falling the day after the most important football game of the year.

The Midwest and Great Lakes regions also saw terribly cold weather and record levels of snowfall this winter. Major Midwest cities like Chicago, Cincinnati and Detroit have seen record levels of snowfall. Chicago alone saw 45.8 inches of snow by the end of January, and, as of Friday, the Great Lakes were 90 percent frozen over.

The Midwest and New England were hit with frigid weather and snow for long periods of time. So long, in fact, that there were propane shortages and natural gas prices spiked due to increased need for heating and supply bottlenecks.

The Farmers’ Almanac makes predictions based on planetary positions, sunspots and lunar cycles — a prediction system that has remained largely unchanged since its first publication in 1818. While modern scientists don’t put much stock in the almanac’s way of doing things, the book says it’s accurate about 80 percent of the time.

The liberal notion that cold weather, and hot, can be linked to man-caused global warming, that's just hubris.

The truth is that nobody really knows for sure what causes the many climate changes the planet has undergone.

You see Kerry and Obama -- two lawyers -- trying to say they understand science and that's absurd.

Obama's entire academic record remains secret to this day, so if he is so bright why is that the case?

Remember when Kerry tried playing the intellect and liberals tried to portray Bush as less intelligence then it came out that not only does Bush have a higher IQ, his grades in Harvard were much better than Kerry's. Now we have an affirmative action President who used the courts to keep his grades secret and the other students who took the same courses he claims to have taken say Obama didn't attend the classes. :lol:

The farmers that I know and live around are all excellent weather predictors. When earning your living combines with hundreds of years of generational experience and knowledge of weather patterns, that is the result.

What sort of a child would believe that the quantity of emoticons posted would be tantamount to mounting an argument?

Nay, the only thing Elkin and Grog ever mounted was a hobby horse.

What sort of a child would believe that copy-and-pasting mindless, unsupported drivel ad infinitum would be tantamount to mounting an argument?

What sort of a child would believe that starting a thread while posting no facts, opinion, or discussion would be tantamount to leading a political discussion?

Right you are, johnny, those are the Jeopardy questions you shout at the blank wall when the answer you hallucinate is "The sort of hypocritical mental child who posts as johnforbes."

Yes John Forbes, they can predict the weather based upon the position of Uranus...

LMAO

They put icons here for a reason?

Elkin, grow up.

You post more smiley faces than an 8th grade girl.

Also, what are your academic credentials in climate science? You have none.
