LONG TERM WEATHER PREDICTIONS FLAWED

Climate scientists are using over-simplified models to predict long term trends in the weather of the south western U.S.A. according to Professor Pielke. There is a tendency for scientists to try to do more than they are capable of, perhaps in order to justify their research grants and please those that pay them. If you are supposed to be an expert it is difficult to say "I don't know the answer", but it would be much better if more experts were prepared to admit their limitations.
