As much as I don't quite agree with your forecast, I do think it's
premature of others to dissmiss your long range forecast as wrong.

I think many people would do well to wait untill Jan 2004 before
replying to this forecast and compare what it has predicted to what
actually happens.

I whole heartedly agree with your comments regarding computer
forecasts not being the only method of forecasting.

I think computer models are excellent for up to 36HRS and possibly
beyond in zonal conditions.

I think many people link climate / weather and chaos theory without
actually knowing what chaos theory is.

Chaos theory works on sub atomic particles and in quantum physics, but
when we have such predictable major parts of equations like, solar
energy, atlantic SST's, albedo, density, pressure, it isn't chaos
