Earthquake warning

How could we forget? You bring this old, old article up every few weeks. Click.

Remember this one?

Well it miight not have been perfect but pretty impressive that he predicted several weeks of record cold. The fact that it was 4 weeks of record cold and not 7 is still impressive

Slightly better than the Met office prediction of no snow

Are we going to have a barbecue summer this year, or is no-one saying anything at the Met office because they can only predict accurately 100 years into the future.

You want to read their predictions of the UK climate between 2020 onwards, now that is amusing

This was the earthquake.

Not bad huh!

Fairly big earthquakes** happen practically every day.

According to that, we are due a quake 6+ every 2 days and 7+ more than once a month.

**obviously a bit subjective

Predictions are difficult. Do you remember this one?

19-23rd April is a WORLD MAJOR EARTHQUAKE RISK (Trial) PERIOD in which the Pacific ring (inc West USA) is vulnerable. In this period we expect an increase in major, M6.0 and above, earthquakes around the world and associated increases in aftershocks in recently active areas (eg East Honshu, Japan) and probably increases in relatively low level activity quieter regions

How did that one work out?

In the next 5 or 10 years warming is likely to be maintained as a transpolar shift occurs.

Piers 2005.

The latest advances in Sun-Earth relations show not only the primacy of magnetic-particle links between the sun and the earth but that these are modulated by lunar effects to give the observed 60 year cycle in both world and USA temperatures. This means that the world will continue general cooling at least to 2030

Oh well. This is how horoscopes work, throw out enough forecasts, with vague generic wording, point to the occasional winners and quietly forget the losers .... you apparently can fool enough of the people enough of the time to make a decent living ...

That will be the same Piers who has been predicting falling global temperatures every year since 2008....

So how did that work out ...?

Mmmm, fruit salad. Haven't had that in a while.

I've got some in the cupboard. And a sherbet dip dab.

Looks like there's going to be an earthquake in the next couple of days.
