If the meteorologists can't get it right, what makes folks think that the climatologists can either?

Question

The meteorologists were calling for a major snow storm in the north east yesterday. Heavy snows from DC to Maine. In the end, they got some heavy snow in the upper north east, but the rest, even as far as New York was...if not a minor event, a far cry from what was predicted.

And this is with radar! They can actually see the storm! They can darned near look out the bloody window and see the thing and yet, with this real time view, their 'models' and their 'I can actually see it!' data, they were still WAY off. And this is here and now!

And yet we are told that global warming and climate change are 'settled science', led to believe that climatologists with nothing but their theories, their models and research papers making predictions 50 years out are infallible. To even question their predictions is to deny science! Seriously?

Here's a better rebuttal against man-made global warming: CO2 accounts for approximately 4% of the greenhouse effect, while water vapor accounts for over 95% of the greenhouse effect. The keys is the difference between a molecule of CO2 and one of H2O. CO2 is a linear molecule, so it only has 3 possible vibrational states. This means it can only absorb a small range of radiation. H2O, however, is a bending molecule. It has 6 different vibrational states. It can absorb radiation across the spectrum, overlapping the wavelengths that CO2 can absorb. This is why water vapour is the dominant greenhouse gas and CO2 is insignificant.

And if you go back to what the models were predicting 10 or even 5 years ago you will see how unreliable they are.

Snow is made  of  what ? Water 
The source of  that  water is what ?  Evaporation 
The cause  of  that  evaporation   is what  ? Heat 
Therefore by  increasing  the rate of  evaporation  global warming can  and  does  cause  heavy snowfalls 
In  fact  some of the  heaviest  snowfalls in  NYC  history  have  happened  in  March  when  warm moist  air  moving  north from  the Gulf and the Atlantic  collides with a cold Artic air mass moving  south
I  live  3 miles  from  the  Gulf and it's current  temp is 75 F
