Meteorologist: Several computer models predict a mild winter for the northern region. However, these models fail to account for the unusually low sea-surface temperatures in the Atlantic, which in the past have been a reliable predictor of severe winters. Thus, we should prepare for more snowfall than average this year.
The meteorologist responds to the computer models' predictions by
- Pointing to a variable the models leave out that, if considered, points toward the opposite forecast.
- Supplying evidence that the models were deliberately tampered with to yield a particular result.
- Showing that the various models actually contradict one another in their forecasts.
- Maintaining that the models rest on data that has recently been shown to be inaccurate.
- Demonstrating that sea-surface temperatures have never reliably predicted winter severity.
