“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert”. – J Robert Oppenheimer.

NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT 
Excellent, I’ve always loved Matt’s cartoons.
He hits the nail right on the head!
Love it. We make this joke every day. Welcome bit of humour to water down the “boiling”.
The Met Office should revert to being a weather forecaster, not a propagandist for the UN and WEF. But there is little money in weather forecasting and lots of tax-payers money and publicity if you are into the climate change scam.
It admits that chaos makes weather forecasting problematic after a few days, but is silent on the effect of chaos on long range climate forecasts (or projections as it often calls them).
The shiny new office and the shiny new supercomputer proved too much of a temptation.
in the age of the Internet you don’t actually need a Weather Forecast service for the weather a couple of days ahead.
A bit of eperience a satellite image from the last couple of hours and a wind map and remember that tomorrow’s weather will bevery much like today’s. The Met Office forecast won’t be any more accurate
I agree. The satellite image is what I always look at.
The Met Office is a mystery to me, ‘scientists’ fully signed up to ‘Man-made-climate-change’, baffling ‘aint it?
I have had meetings at the Met office several times and use their library and archives. Not all the (invariably nice) scientists are ‘fully signed up’ but they do know which side their bread is buttered in their subsidised canteen.
Matt is always so spot-on…

Not sure they know what the weather was yesterday.
Alan – yesterday’s weather will be subject to revision and correction for maybe many years.
Always floods of climate propaganda from the shower at the Met Office.
With all their billion pound computers they can barely forecast twelve hours ahead
The Met Office are so brilliant they can interpret one data point as a trend. it is noticeable that the red crayon is their favorite.
Because COP 24 was there (in à snow storm on a coalfield) I have Katowice weather on my iPhone. 22C at midday, thunderstorms.
The met office are in the incredible position where their forecasts are not monitored for accuracy and apart from the “Fishisms and barbeque summers” there is little chance that they can be questioned, as they deal with percentage chances of rain etc. So far as I can find-out their only quality control criterion is being within +/- 2 deg K of the next day’s temperature (i.e. todays +/- a bit): they even gave up on giving long range forecasts.
Yet as the cartoon says, they can predict temperatures in 2060 accurately. Nostradamus was probably more accurate in his predictions.
Say no more, but please forward to the BBC and the UN.
I heard it said some where recently that whilst governments cannont solve the shocking homeless crisis around the globe if we all pay them lots of our hard earned cash they can lower the world temperature.
Many years ago whilst staying in a Bracknell hotel I became friends with a Belfast meteorologist who had come over on rotation to do the UK forecast for 6 weeks. He was very grumpy one evening and I asked him the reason. ” If I knew it was going to be so nice today , I would have had the day off”
