I guess if you predict something like clockwork every year, it will eventually become true.


That's right, and nobody remembers the 50 years they are wrong, only the one year when they are right! :-?

It's like global warming, over the past two years in the UK we have had the warmest on record (2003) and one of the wettest on record (2004).

The fact is the earth has been warming up for hundreds of years (since the Ice Age), and with all probability did so millions of years ago in a similar fashion. The problem we have is that we are tracking records only over a very very short period of time (150 years at most) so we don't have evidence of the long-term trends in weather fluctuations so any "experts" view is simply a guess.
