Stop Complaining about Meteorologists
The first philosophical imperative is to not speak about things of which you have no knowledge. Many people speak about things they ultimately know nothing about. For example, countless number of people like to complain about Meteorologists being wrong. Well, there are numerous things that can impact the weather, like temperature and dew point (at EVERY level in the atmosphere). I am not yet a meteorologist but even I know that predicting the weather is not easy, but I trust in our meteorologists to do the best they can with the resources they have. Our atmosphere changes all the time and there is no way to tell someone with 100% confidence what is going to happen on a given day, ever. Meteorologists tell you the chance of something happening on a given day; however, many people don't even understand that. Many people do not understand what the probability of something happening means and what it means to be in a certain risk area. In addition, did you know that we live in one of the most tornadic countries in the world yet many other nations spend more money on there weather services than the United States? If you want better forecasts and warning times then you better be willing to dish out the money for better equipment to help make that happen. But until then, do your research and do not speak about things you have little to no knowledge about.
