They Can’t Even Predict the Weather
from At Home with Phil Robertson · host Phil Robertson
Weather forecasts promised rain every day of the week—and missed almost entirely. This episode examines how confident predictions and large systems claim control over nature, then quietly fail when conditions don’t cooperate. Using firsthand experience with rising rivers and floods, Phil explains why disasters aren’t engineering problems waiting to be solved. Floods, droughts, and storms remain part of life, regardless of money, technology, or forecasts. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
