Science doesn't have anything to say about the "god thing". It has a lot
to say about a number of religious beliefs, though.

Climatologists come into play when planning infrastructure,
urban planning (expansion and renewal), disaster prediction
(such as flooding) and planning for water resources.

As far as the weather--that happens independent of what the
meteorologists predicted.

ø The climatologists who signed off on the IPCC
#4 was exactly 52 not th ouysands and not

ø The issue is really irrelevant.
Nobody can control the wind
Nobody can control the rain or snow
Nobody (collectively) can control climate.
Global temps are within natural variations
Oceans heating are a prelude to glaciation
Get used to it!!
