Changes

In the modern day, most predictions about climate change center around either greenhouse gases for terms of global warming, or microplastics in terms of changes to the environment. Climate policy, such as the [[Paris Climate Agreement]], is often dictated by predictions of scientists who make these predictions and projections regarding the environment and weather, but as is shown in the list below, The Science™ is often unreliable or inaccurate. A great example of their inaccuracy comes from the assertions of former [[National Weather Service]] (then called the Weather Bureau) head C.F. Marvin, who stated that "There may be trends of hotter, or colder, or drier, or wetter weather for several years, but on the whole, weather balances to about a constant factor."<ref>{{Cite news |date=1930-08-08 |title=No Premanent Climate Change in Two Centuries |pages=2 |work=St. Louis Post-Dispatch |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/st-louis-post-dispatch/89556922/ |access-date=2023-06-16}}</ref> He then cited an example of climate scientists at the time predicting global increases in temperature, despite the fact that 8 years prior, in 1922, Washington D.C. received more than 25 inches of snow in 24 hours, which was more than had ever been recorded in New York, Chicago, Boston, or St. Paul since the NWS had began keeping records of snowfall in 1870.

"Several dark, cloudy mornings in succession have brought to the front the weatherwise contingent who declare that the climate is changing, and that they never knew such weather in May. There is not the slightest reliance to be placed on weather sharps, unless they have accurate records to back their recollections. Such records as have been kept wholly disprove the not uncommon assertion that the climate is changing, and show that the average of temperature, of barometic pressure, of coudy and clear days, and of climate generally, is just about the same, year in and year out." - Oakland Tribune, 23 May 1888<ref>{{Cite news |date=1888-05-23 |title=Several |pages=6 |work=Oakland Tribune |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/oakland-tribune-refuting-climate-change/33910242/ |access-date=2023-06-19}}</ref>
