Some interesting stuff in here about weather forecasting and general instability in the world. The stuff about how in the 50s it was mooted that using nuclear weapons to prevent hurricanes forming is jaw-dropping.

Putting my nerd hat on, this bit is wrong:
In October 1987, BBC weather forecaster Michael Fish told viewers not to worry about strong winds that turned out to be the worst storm southern England had experienced in 300 years, just the day before it happened.
It's one of the most misrepresented events I can think of.
Fish said that a woman had called in to say she'd heard a hurricane was heading our way.
There'd been a hurricane (Floyd) battering Florida at the time, and he assumed this was what she was referring to (and probably narked, thinking of the erroneous cliche about us getting America's weather a week later). As the hurricane wasn't heading to the UK (and it's practically impossible for a genuine hurricane to reach the UK, given 'hurricane' is a term for a storm with specific characteristics) he said we shouldn't worry, because there isn't.
He did go on, in that forecast, to warn of strong winds from a normal storm.
As it happens, the UK storm intensified rapidly and unexpectedly and did produce hurricane-force winds. But, given the dumbing down of the news and the general hysteria of the print media, nobody bothered to correct people who created the false narrative that Fish had got it terribly wrong because we'd been hit by the hurricane he said wasn't coming.
