Don't they Google a person before hiring?

Movement of celestial bodies is somewhat fixed and not really as much prediction as math.

Weather is also totally predictable.

• Winter - Cold
• Spring - Warming
• Summer - Hot
• Autumn - Cooling

Dr. McSmuggy-Tyson tweeted something similar.

...which is disingenuous and condescending (a Tyson twofer) in that the difference between predicting an eclipse and determining that man's activities cause climate change is like the difference between finding your running speed by timing between 2 points and determining which sweat gland will produce the last bead just as you cross the finish line.

In other words- no comparison.

I won't defend the moronic article, but it's the 50th Anniversary of the first issue of Rolling Stone, not Lennon's murder.

I'm, apparently, not alone in this opinion.
