So Trump supporters think weather science

[busterbrown]

is bogus science.." Not scientifically proven...Predicting is guessing..”
.
I just wonder how many in Texans are glued to their weather stations right now?

I sincerely hope that the storm approaching the East Coast of Texas takes a U Turn...

But... It amazes me how many in our population think weather science is just a random sort of thing

1. They are the people that do not evacuate when told to and then complain when no one risks their life

to save them at the height of a storm.

2. That about sums it up!

4. It's true forecasts are not 100% accurate....

However, the forecasts are steadily getting better with better data, better models and more weather stations.

What's the alternative ? Going back to the Middle Ages and praying to God ? How stupid can one be.

5. It's unbelievable. And it's not like weather science is some "new fangled" thing

The most important weather prediction ever was for D-Day. Eisenhower relied on it. And I sure hope Harvey never makes landfall too.

6. Trump supporters are idiots but meteorology is not climatology.

7. You beat me to it

I was going to say it is actually worse when people equate weather and climate.

It makes it impossible for them to conceptualize what the science is actually trying to tell them about climate.

8. republicans have lied so much they have convinced some people

that up is down.
that wet is dry.
that climate change is a hoax.
that tax cuts for the rich will "trickle down" to people who work for a living.
that a five-time Draft Dodger with a history of lying is fit to command our sons and daughters in uniform serving the nation.
that they are "special" and will be "lifted body and soul" high above the freaking, stinking mess that they themselves have created on earth, and not have to deal with it like ordinary American citizens.

republicans must stop lying to Americans. It's way past time.
