The Modern Met Office's Performance

Anyhow, I hope I get my loyal servant badge from them if they read this

I'll have a word on your behalf!

From what I can read out there on the net there seems to be a general feeling that the focus of our once internationally renowned Met Office seems to have become somewhat diluted when their mandate was split and the climate change agenda fell into their remit as well as the core function of UK weather forecasting.

Whilst it is patently obvious to anybody over 40 that our climate is changing the question of whether or not it is anthropomorphic (man made) remains to be proven. This is a subject which is probably best avoided in this discussion.

Our Once? Still is. Do you actually know what the mandate is because you seem to have missed out the commercial aspect. If climate change is best avoided I'm puzzled why you introduced it although the Hadley centre has an international reputation. Why not mention they play a leading role in remote sensing with one of the leaders in the field in Dr. Nash. Didn't come up on the net?

Jeez Weather Ship, for a second I thought you were having a laugh when I read your comment about "remote sensing" as meaning those batty experiments the CIA conducted in the 70's training (remote viewing)...

Best avoided because its a straw man.

How accurate are they compared with similar organisations though?
