"In his new book Apollo’s Arrow, ambitiously subtitled The Science of Prediction and the Future of Everything, Vancouver-based author and mathematician David Orrell set out to explain why the mathematical models scientists use to predict the weather, the climate and the economy are not getting any better, just more refined in their uncertainty.

— in its myths of the Fall and the Apocalypse, its saints and heretics, its iconography and tithing, its reliance on prophecy, even its schisms — the green movement now exhibits the same psychology of compliance as religion.
...
Dr. Orrell is no climate-change denier. He calls himself green. But he understands the unjustified faith that arises from the psychological need to make predictions.
....
Dr. Orrell said in an interview. After all, he said, scientists cannot even write the equation of a cloud, let alone make a workable model of the climate."

It's quite amazing how people can accept these 50 or 100 year predictions. And of course how excited they are about them is also interesting. But I guess I wouldn't have as much of a problem with this if this belief actually made them happy. At least with the Second Coming people involved wanted to moral at the moment and were excited about the rapture [which going to happen within a fairly short timeframe].

And no one seems to be selling the beach front properties cheap- which a bummer dude- which seems to indicate a serious lack of commitment to the faith.
