That's odd

The BBC report that:

'Summer 'wettest in 100 years', Met Office figures show'

Apparently:

'This summer is set to be the second wettest in the UK since records began - and the wettest summer in 100 years - provisional Met Office figures suggest. The wettest summer - defined as June, July and August - since national records began was in 1912. Figures up until 29 August show that 366.8 mm of rain fell across the UK this summer, compared with 384.4 mm rainfall in 1912. The April to June period was also the wettest recorded in the UK. The figures are provisional as there are still two days remaining in August, but the BBC Weather Centre said the rainfall was not expected to exceed the total amount in 1912. Records began in 1910.'

That's very odd because I remember the certainty with which The Guardian reported in 2006 as fact that:

'Scientists know a lot about how events will unfold...which means that whatever we do, our climate destiny is fixed for the next few decades... Rainfall will decline in the summer and the increased deluges in winter will struggle to replenish thirsty reservoirs because much of the water will run off the baked ground.'

I wonder if the BBC/Guardian recall the narrative they used to push just a few years ago. Or do they switch from believing in drought to flood as easily as the citizens of Oceania swapped between believing the enemy was Eurasia or Eastasia.

'Scientists know... climate destiny is fixed... Rainfall will decline in the summer...' It's all rubbish folks; most of these scientists are not predicting based on science, they are designing science to fit the desired predictions.
