The weather can not be accurately predicted 5 days out; two decades
is pure fantasy.

I've noticed that the most popular phrases describing the supposed 
warming warnings are "likely", "could", "might" and "perhaps".

"Maybe" if some of the predictions of the Global Warming crew ever come 
true they'll start using stronger language.
