Uber-warmist Paul Douglas blows yet another one-day forecast; blames carbon dioxide

Slight Severe Storm Risk Late PM (2010-2011: most extreme weather year since 1816?) | StarTribune.com

* Note to readers: What do we have to do, who do we have to bribe, to enjoy a nice, sunny (summerlike) Saturday statewide? My apologies for yesterday's "bust". Yes, we know when we're wrong. We pace, check the Doppler, press our concerned faces up against the nearest window. A friend walked up with a copy of the Star Tribune weather page, pointing to the "sunshine" prediction with a big smirk on his face. "What happened, Paul?" Yes, the prediction called for "partly sunny", and the sun was out much of the day north/west of St. Cloud. That didn't do residents of the Twin Cities any good....No excuses, but this bears repeating: I have never, ever seen a year like this. Ever. Not only is the weather more extreme, it's harder than ever to predict. The south is experiencing an historic drought with tens of thousands of wildfires so far this year - while the north is unusually cool, wet & stormy. This huge north-south temperature contrast is whipping up unusually strong winds over the nation's midsection, helping to spin up severe storms (more than 18,000 reports of severe weather so far this year), and an unprecedented number of large, violent (and deadly) tornadoes. The models are more useless than usual. We're in new & uncharted territory. We're doing our best to provide you with reliable weather information, but please know the truth: something has changed. From a meteorological standpoint it's fascinating, and more than a little bit troubling.
