Weather has been one of my hobbys for over 55 years, I expect long before you were born and WAY before there was any "world wide web" when there were things called "books" and "seminars" and whatnot. My college did have a mainframe that we connected to however (as one of the-then primary domains out there - a .edu, which joined the .gov, and .mil - before the internet was commercialized).
My dad was a COBOL programmer for the federal government from the mid-1950s to the mid-1970s.
I ask you again, what "science degree" do you have?
I am an ACS Certified Chemist.
That meant that I had to take a specific scientific curriculum, IN A SPECIFIC ORDER, and was given specific ACS-designed final exams that corresponded to achieving that certification. And my curriculum not only included chem classes like basic, organic, inorganic, analytical, and physical, but I also had to take a computer science course, take 3 semesters of Calculus and 3 semesters of Physics. This was on top of the regular "liberal arts" stuff like a couple semesters of a foreign language, writing, social sciences, and the humanities.
I guarantee I know far more about the "natural world" then you seem to be aware of. 
Seriously - what degree do you have in any "science"? Instead of trolling on this subject, why not contribute something meaningful?
