Out of the mouths of babes and (not so) innocents

Sometimes I like to listen to junk BBC stuff just for amusement value and to establish what they are teaching the young. Today on Radio One there was a giggle kind of chat topic about people sharing baths. I'm sure it got past the editorial pc brigade because it then went on to stuff like three women doing this, and so it's a good plug for lesbians.

Anyway, they cocked up and started getting phone calls to say that one should not have a bath, as it is not environmentally friendly and should take a shower instead. So quickly correcting himself the young presenter man said he was quite right and the girl co-host naturally agreed as if it was a silly mistake on their part. A short while later someone txtd in(sic) to say that he had no problem and could have a bath because he used solar power. They thought this was brilliant and all agreed that this man was a smart listener, like someone driving a Porsche compared to an Escort. It left me feeling bewildered as I looked out of the window to see the sky turning dark on a cold wintery day like we have today. I'd say he might well have encountered hypothermia in his solar powered bath, but this technicality was miles above the heads of the star presenters.

Because certain posters are always saying weather and climate are different to amuse myself I entered them both in Cambridge dictionaries online

weather (AIR CONDITIONS)
noun [U]
the conditions in the air above the Earth such as wind, rain or temperature, especially at a particular time over a particular area:

climate (WEATHER)
noun [C or U]
the general weather conditions usually found in a particular place:

Spot the difference ?

Preventing ‘weather change’ just sounds ridiculous though.

or is that weather or not we have change

When they manage to predict the weather in one month's time I might start paying a little more attention to these masters of the universe. I do believe the errors increase exponentially with time, and so computer power needs to increase exponentially as well. Even if they do manage that there is no way their future models will accurately reflect what their basic models predicted and where they claim that they were proof. You can't have it both ways, you can't first say you are certain and then ask the public to believe that your new view is worse than what you had previously said and still be correct. It’s not science as we know it.
