Since the 80s, however, science and technology have had an accelerating impact on life on Earth – though it has been hard at times to forecast with precision what breakthroughs would prove the most important.
Of course, as The New York Times' Neil Irwin points out, forecasting with precision is very hard, and so the Moody's report is more useful to understand the broad economic trends that would be at work in a Trump presidency.
Five days is generally too far in the future for scientists to forecast with any precision where a weather system that has yet to fully form will go, said Brian LaMarre, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service on special assignment in the New Orleans/Baton Rouge office.
Policy makers, elected and otherwise, like to suppose the far future can be forecast with such precision that we should today engage concrete expenditures and policies to make that clear future happen sooner.
The FAA is working with NASA to find ways of forecasting storms with precision up to five hours ahead, and controllers are all to get computers on their desks to plot the best diversion instantly.
Simulations are definitely required to obtain forecasts with sufficient precision.
We would potentially have safer airplanes, make it easier to discover distant planets, detect cancer and other diseases early, predict weather forecasts with more precision and new generations of computer modeling.
Although many researchers engaged in wind power forecasting, the forecasting precision is still not satisfied.
"He tournament-casts as another city boy might fly remote-control airplanes, and he casts with uncommon elegance — a high, slow backcast, perfect timing, and a forecast that straightens with precision," McGuane wrote.
She walked with precision.
He did everything with precision and earnestness.
