Also you're going to have to replace florida.

Well they can't tell me what the weathers going to be with
anything close to certainty next month why the hell should I
believe them when they say what it will be 10, 20 or 50 years
down the road?

Actually, forecasting has become incredibly accurate in the last
twenty years and is getting better all the time, short term
certainly. I never cease to be amazed at how accurate winds aloft
are, for the most part, and terminal forecasting is probably ten
times more accurate than it was even ten or fifteen years ago.

As to the predictions they're making long term, so far the trend
seems to be accurate. More wind, more storms. record highs and
lows..
As for Florida, I can live with that.

Mmm me too.

Shame about the everglades, though.

Come on Bertie, they said this was going to be a dry winter in the
Western US. Hasn't been the case.

Both of the last two years they have said would be the worst
Hurricane seasons on record. Both years they were wrong. If they
keep saying that every year sooner or later they are going to be
right.

OK, point taken.

Of course if the Wx is chaging dramatically, then extremes will
become more common and they'll be worknig with an ever more
unfamiliar model. I'm looking at a very fierce gale at the moment.and
we've lost more trees this year than we have in all the years I've
lived at this place.

The really interesting deal with the Wx is insurance and floods...if
everyone in the country (seen the Midwest recently?) is subject to
flooding and is required to purchase flood insurance that will be
another bit of money out of circulation or do with out and then depend
upon the largess of strangers to help you rebuild. Either way the
economy takes a hit. People seem to think that agencies like FEMA
somehow appear out of thin air and don't realize that they are part of
'we the people'.

Sorry, I don't follow. You mnean the money going towards insurance is
money that is not spent elswhere on a more economically stimulating
area? IOW it doesn't produce?

Money to me is something for throwing off the back of trains according
to mrs bunyip.

Bertie

If the floodplains as defined by the USGS continue to expand (as they
have here, suddenly I'm in a flood plain!) insurance will be hard to
come by and/or more expensive. Most folks think of premiums as money
'thrown off the back of a train' in any case...until they need it.
Mudslides, tornadoes, floods...think of GW (bush too) as Spring x2 (to
start).

Picture the effect on the economy when what little discretionary
income folks have left after making the minimums to MC and Visa goes
toward food because the weather patterns have changed and/or the land
is being used for ethanol production snort. Folks will riot not
because they can't afford gas for their SUVs, they'll riot because
they can't afford cable to numb their brains.

It will be an interesting time for sure.
