Two TV Weathermen - Two Views of Global Warming

There are lots of TV weatherpersons in the news lately. Here are just two with radically opposing views on future forecasts (from Tim Graham at The Corner):

Here’s a notable statement from the global warming debate on “Larry King Live” last night. CNN weathercaster Rob Marciano sounded humble: “You know, as weather forecasters, we can't get the five-day forecast right. We're going to bank — put all of the money in the bank on a 50 or 100-year forecast, that is probably the thing that's most concerning, especially to meteorologist that forecast on a daily basis. You know how difficult it is to do that.”

It’s quite a difference from the screen graphic under ABC weathercaster Sam Champion yesterday: “Will Billions Die From Global Warming?” Champion’s betting all his marbles on the United Nations consensus.

Marciano has a point. How often is the 7 day forecast completely accurate, and yet we're supposed to completely change our lifestyle based on what other meteorologists tell us is going to happen 50 years from now.
