Not exactly for free if you are a taxpayer, however that was not my barbed point.
They need a new computer because she might be right.
It’s free at the point of use 60 million people in the UK that’s £1.61 per head per year (assuming 8 years use) or 20p per year per person for 8 years.
Not entirely true again, the aviation industry pays for access, however maybe its too early on a Monday for the point.
Some people like barbed points, it seems they feel threatened by teenagers with an opinion.
I think it's a good idea to keep up to date maybe some people are against it as it means they will have less chance to complain about the forecast being wrong!!!The Met Office makes money, they even sell data to the Chinese. The new computer is just to replace the old one which reaches the end of its design life in a couple of years.
And it's needed because of the challenge of global warming. The warmer atmosphere has more energy and as a result it becomes more chaotic and harder to predict.
Folk have short memories. The 1987 "hurricane" was poorly forecast but we knew about storm Dennis a week ago and the impact of it was accurately forecast.
Its not the teenager its the ones pulling the strings that are the threat , and they are just as dangerous as the
I suspect it would be almost as much fun as a MoHo
But it is true...uncomfortably so and that's why people do not like it.
Would hate to think about the amount of days I have cancelled concrete at work over the years due to dodgy weather forecasting!!
I cannot see this new system being any better, best weather forecasting I have seen is in the States they tell you A time when it’s going to rain and were pretty much spot on most of the time.
At the moment I just look out the window and have a look as it’s more reliable
Communism, socialism, and capitalism are ideologies. I think the people of Calder Valley cleaning up after their third “100 year event” in 4 years might give it a practical name not one based on theory. Some of us see it as a dangerous reality.
They have a model of the atmosphere, which is a fluid, albeit with clouds in and stuff. I'm not sure how they model this but I do know from long ago when I studied finite element analysis when I was taught by people who had known Newton that it takes a lot of sums. In finite element analysis you model a solid structure or say a bridge and consider each element as a separate beam. For solids you create a 3D lattice of beams which is the same shape as the solid. Even a simple model could have several hundred "beams" and when you apply a force to the structure the model works out how this interlinked system reacts.
IS IT ?? BUSBY.
So Busby, are you a climate change denier? are going to retort that the world has always gone through periods of change without a thought about man made climate change.
Aviation, Formula 1, farmers, concerts the list will ago on there are lots of revenue sources, but for the simple view of an investment, even without the additional revenue its cheap.Not entirely true again, the aviation industry pays for access, however maybe its too early on a Monday for the point.
Didn't tell you if it was hot or cold though
There is a theory that the big thinkers of the west recognising the inevitable exhaustion of fossil fuels had to devise a promotional platform for weaning the world from their addiction. To tell the populations that in 40 years, 50 years whatever that they will not be able to run their cars or heat their homes would have been received with a "not our problem attitude". So Climate Change was evolved as the motivation for the elimination of reliance on fossil fuels, a wizard wheeze that is working brilliantly and appealing to the impressionable masses, ably assisted by fracking which has prolonged the day of Armageddon (the running out of oil). Just as plausible in my opinion.
You could ask the dinosaurs for their opinion?
