How climate consensus is made...

It's late fall and the Indians on the Northern Cheyenne Indian
Reservation in Montana asked their new chief if the coming
winter was going to be cold or mild.

Since he was a chief in a modern society, he had never been
taught the old ways. When he looked at the sky, he couldn't
tell what the winter was going to be like.

Nevertheless, to be on the safe side, he told his tribe that the
winter was indeed going to be cold and that the members of the
tribe should collect firewood to be prepared.

But, being a practical leader, after several days, he got an
idea.

He got on the phone and called the National Weather Service and
asked, 'Is the coming winter going to be cold?'

'It looks like this winter is going to be quite cold', the
meteorologist at the weather service responded.

So the chief went back to his people and told them to collect
even more firewood in order to be prepared.

A week later, he called the National Weather Service again.
'Does it still look like it is going to be a very cold winter?'

'Yes', the man at National Weather Service again replied, 'it's
going to be a very cold winter.'

The chief again went back to his people and ordered them to
collect every scrap of firewood they could find.

Two weeks later, the chief called the National Weather Service
again. 'Are you absolutely sure that the winter is going to be
very cold?'

'Absolutely', the man replied. 'It's looking more and more
like it is going to be one of the coldest winters we've ever
seen.'

'How can you be so sure?', the chief asked.

The weatherman replied, 'The Indians are collecting a s#@t-load
of firewood.' Shocked
