...Hang on, can we do this again for the slow ones?<br /><br />Sou told us that it was a fake video, in the sense that it wasn't <b>actually</b> a weather forecast broadcast in 2050.<br /><br />Now anonymous comes along and tells us that the video is <b>real</b> and its the forecast that's fake. We got hold of a recording that won't be made for 36 years (because...quantum!), and misfortunately it just happens to be a <i>spoof</i> weather forecast!<br /><br />Of course, logically, anonymous can only know that the video is real but the forecast fake because she/he comes from <i>even further forward</i> in time than the video!

But I don't want them to hate me. <br /><br />Seriously, I think this kind of video is great because it makes climate change real for those who ignore it on a daily basis. Wouldn't it be great if the networks ran this as a public service advertisement around the anniversary of Super Storm Sandy?
