Met Office Scraps Seasonal Forecasts

Bishop Hill reports that the Met Office reports that seasonal forecasts have been scrapped:

• The Met Office is to abandon its long-term and seasonal forecasting after criticism for failing to predict extreme weather.
  

Bishop Hill then asks the natural question how it is possible for the Met Office to make long-time

predictions of the climate, if seasonal predictions are impossible. I have discussed this question in previous posts on Short-Time vs Long-Time Accuracy, with the conclusion that only in very special cases is it possible that long-time accuracy is possible without short-time accurcay.

The Met Office maybe should scrap also its long-time climate forecasts, and stick to its main mission of daily forcasts.

But the Met Office counters the scrapped seasonal forecasts by sending out renewed long-time AGW alarm: Climate Change Human Link Even "Stronger".

Compare Warmists overwhelmed by fear, panic and deranged hatred as their 'science' collapses.

What does the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences say? No collapse of any AGW science in sight?
