Shock, horror! Paul Hudson, the Yorkshire-based BBC weather reporter who caused a furore last year when he dared to break ranks from his warmist fanatic colleagues and suggested that the sun, not CO2, might be responsible for perceived global warming, has entered the fray again. This time, he’s pointed out that Joe Bastardi, of the climate realist weather service Accuweather, correctly forecast back in September that we were in for a tough winter, while the buffoons at the Met Office were busy using their new £170m computer to tell us that it was going to be – as ever- much milder than usual. Mr Hudson asks how this could have happened and poses in response a question which will no doubt leave his warmist colleagues speechless:

Could the model, seemingly with an inability to predict colder seasons, have developed a warm bias, after such a long period of milder than average years? Experts I have spoken to tell me that this certainly is possible with such computer models. And if this is the case, what are the implications for the Hadley centre’s predictions for future global temperatures? Could they be affected by such a warm bias? If global temperatures were to fall in years to come would the computer model be capable of forecasting this?

How long before Black, Harrabin &Co pile in with a horrified rebuttal?
