Default What makes Met Office long-term forecasts so wrong?

So where's the evidence in this article that global warming "dogma"
caused the Met Office to forecast a "barbecue summer"? Can't see it,
myself, other than extremely circumstantial claims about the
background of people who run the Met Office. One for the trash bin
methinks.

Oh come on over the years and more so under this governmemt the Met Office
is increasingly a puplic policy propaganda tool. All that rubish on their
website about health care and AGW *please see my post above/


Your rants and fervent opposition to anything the Met Office does
which are encapsulated in your last post, surprisingly enough, cannot
be classed as evidence.

Booker simply writes what you want to believe Lawrence. That's why you
set store by his writing and lead us to the far right wing, religious
fundamentalist-underpinned, hopelessly climatalogically-uninformed
claptrap that this particular hack writes (there are well-informed
people who write in the Telegraph, don't get me wrong - one on here! -
but no-one of sound mind would feel that this is one of those). After
reading his Wiki entry, how impartial and level headed would you
consider is the author of this article you led us to last week and
whom John has led us back to?
