Finally, a bit of climate candor from a top global warming alarmist. Pressed to rationalize the U.K. Met Office’s woeful failure to predict 2010’s cold January, John Hirst admits not even the Met Office — which he nevertheless insists is the best weather predicting organization in the world — can say what will happen to weather over the long-haul:
Thank you, Mr. Hirst. Now if we can just get Al Gore to answer a few questions…

Oh, come on, Kurt, what are you criticizing these guys for? Don’t you know it is FAR easier to forecast ten, twenty years down the pike than for the next ten days? Elementary, my dear Watson.
Just ask Al Gore, bless his little cotton socks.
Do you think Hirst is annoyed? Just a little bit annoyed? Oh, goodness, I hope so. Because I am up to *here* with the arrogance of these global warmers, and I do so want to see them annoyed.
Just came back from a couple of weeks in New Mexico, where we enjoyed two blizzards, white out conditions with snow flying sideways, with record cold. It rarely broke freezing even in the middle of the afternoon.
Here a poke, there a poke… Ahh, that feels good.
Hirst was squirming, wasn’t he?
