Our current understanding of weather phenomena isn't good enough to predict where a hurricane will make landfall any closer than a day or two out. And that's based on the current "hard science" of weather modeling . . . also called prognostication . . . or, more appropriately, a SWAG.

And the ocean isn't the only place we use as an insatiable dumping ground. We're still storing nuclear waste at the points of use in accordance with the strict requirements of the various nuclear regulatory agencies based on science. Debates about the benefits of the various energy systems notwithstanding, I sincerely hope the "strict requirements" are enough to protect our progeny. Remember . . . thalidomide was prescribed to pregnant women based on the science available at the time.
