I'd be more apt to believe them if they could get the next 10 or 20 years correct, but none of the climate models are able to predict past events, let alone future ones.
Now that base, wth were people thinking?

You may want to look at the research behind climate models. They have shown to be accurate in hind modeling. The only real complaint is that some have been a bit too conservative in their predictions.

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2016/08/08/passengers-stranded-after-all-delta-flights-grounded/88385034/I wonder if their 386 Windows 3.1 PC or apps crashed again...

Am I the only one who is disappointed that the aeroplanes operated by Delta Airlines don't have delta wings?
(Technically do because Delta own the wings on the plane but I meant delta wings like a Vulcan bomber, a Mirage or the Concord) -

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2016/08/08/passengers-stranded-after-all-delta-flights-grounded/88385034/UGH!! Why am I not surprised they would have a complete outage? One more reason to avoid flying with them. I am a huge fan of driving everywhere I possibly can.

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2016/08/08/passengers-stranded-after-all-delta-flights-grounded/88385034/I was just talking to someone stuck in Atlanta about this. They could have rented a car and driven the rest of the way in the amount of time they had been waiting.

I just drove from NY to Texas. I did it faster than Delta could get people there.

For those unaware: I don't know that @Minion-Queen has seen the systems airlines use, it's just really very obvious after the news story.
