> nobody really believed the earth was flat

Your link only debates that during the Middle Ages people thought the earth was flat.

Those living in ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt believed we all lived on a flat disc or plane floating in the ocean.

This seems strange to me.

The existence of a McDonalds should have little positive effect on how often I go to another restaurant.

Can anyone provide anecdotal evidence that this isn’t Starbucks propaganda?

Whether it’s nonsense or not, this quote in the critical assessment is concerning:

> If I were a science journalist writing an article about a supposedly shocking development like this, I would email some experts and check to see if it’s for real.

An attitude like that would have us all believing the earth is flat or that the sun revolves around the earth. After all, experts of the time believed both wrongly.

There was a comment here that I no longer see from someone that may work at Meteoblue (or majority shareholder Windy) which was very informative about various weather models. I think it’d be great if that person would write a post and share it, because I’d like to find a service that can provide the most reliable forecast dumps for our use in behavioral predictions.

The Meteoblue predictions seem sometimes much different from other predictions, and it was said that Meteoblue had a combined model that may be better than all other models, so I’d like to see some data.
