Christ almighty Smith, persecution much?

"I see, in order to have an opinion on this subject, one must be a professional scientist."

You don't need to be a professional scientist, you just need to have a background in science. You need to actually know some science, get it? Lots of people aren't scientists but understand scientific concepts. You clearly arent one of those people.

"The rest of the population is to simply listen to the experts, and follow their directions."

No, the rest of the population should GET THEMSELVES A FRIGGING EDUCATION so they don't sound like idiots when they spout off about things they don't understand.

"sounds like a great plan Adolf"

Did you seriously just Godwin yourself? Who are you even arguing with? Not the people on this forum, who actually understand cliamte science.

"I would love to here anyone address my specific points regarding the failure of scientists to predict short term trends in the weather/climate.

Clue train coming into the station righw now: CLIMATE SCIENTISTS DON'T MAKE SHORT TERM WEATHER PREDICTIONS. If you actually understood the difference between climate and weather, maybe you'd get this really, really simple concept.

"I would also like to hear why this failure makes them a credible source of information regarding any climate issues."

Their predictions are actually very accurate, if anything the global climate system is destabilizing even faster than they thought, thanks to all the tipping point triggers that you're too stubbornly ignorant to bother learning about.

One last time, sing it with me, one outlier does not a trend unmake.
