Over the years any bookie or odds-maker who is consistently wrong in predicting the point spreads of professional or college sporting events will be out of a job. This is simply because he will have lost credibility, and in the gambling business, in order to stay employed an odds-maker needs to be accurate in his predictions. This simple, but basic tenet also extends to just about everyone … everyone except those who predict climate disasters! In fact with regard to these individuals, often their predictions are not only “wrong,” but “WRONG.”
Some examples from Real Climate Science:
2008: Al Gore warns of ice-free Arctic by 2013
OOPS,
From The Guardian 2004: Britain to have Siberian climate by 2020

OOPS!
1988: Maldives completely under water in 30 years

OOPS! … now going on over 54 years and Maldives is still there !
1988: Washington DC days over 90F to from 35 to 85
OOPS … the number of hot days in the DC area peaked in 1911, and have been declining ever since.
These are just a smidgen of the many, many wildly inaccurate climate predictions by made “experts.”
Why does anyone believe this nonsense any more?
What ever happened to that old proverb: “fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me!”
