    sorry but ignorance is key here. weather forecasts are incredibly accurate. i'm not sure what world you're living in.

    It must be nice to live in predictable Utah. Here in the northwest they can't get it right one day to the next with storms forming off the ocean. Last night they told us it would be cooler but sunny this weekend and no rain in sight. Less than 12 hours later, we're covered in clouds and it looks like a threat of rain. You may think this is incredibly accurate. I must be holding them to higher standards.

    Jesus, before we get worked up about this article, notice in a couple of places that the study has it critics and got mixed reviews.

    Climatology predictions are only as good as the models. And I agree that we need to work on predicting this weekend's weather before we can start predicting the weather a century from now. Last month our weather tard told us on the 10pm news that it was going to be sunny and dry the rest of that week. I woke up to rain, and it rained the rest of that week. Of course they don't come on the next day and say "sorry I fucked up", they act like they knew it would, and then show a completely different graphic for the weekly outlook.

    What about the bees?

    It that climate related? GM food related? Cell phone related? Mite related? The next internet theory related?

    Maybe a combination of all of the above. Or, two of the above.

    Honey is too expensive as it is, and I always keep a jar. Consumer-value/health-value/environmental-value/agri-value all rolled into one.

    This is serious.
