[OFB Cafe] Climatology vs. Climatism

[Donald R Spoon]

I love this quote:

> Models are the manufactured reality of our age. They are the goat 
> entrails of the 21^st Century. Just as selecting the right goat to 
> kill and reading the entrails was the province of the highly select 
> and self anointed, so too with models. People obsessively want to know 
> the future and models are the channels to next month, next year, the 
> next decade and indeed the next three to four decades. 

The quote is from this article discusses the differences between 
Climatology (the science) and Climatism (the social belief system).

We do have a few goats around here if anybody doesn't have a good model 
to use.  I can get them VERY cheap!  I will just need to obtain the 
services of a few goat herders to start the drive of the herd north to 
y'all...
