Flashback 2000: ClimateGate Researchers Told us “Snowfalls Will Become a Very Rare And Exciting Event”

But don’t worry, they’re totally right this time…

Snowfalls are now just a thing of the past — The Independent, March 2000

Britain’s winter ends tomorrow with further indications of a striking environmental change: snow is starting to disappear from our lives.

Sledges, snowmen, snowballs and the excitement of waking to find that the stuff has settled outside are all a rapidly diminishing part of Britain’s culture, as warmer winters — which scientists are attributing to global climate change — produce not only fewer white Christmases, but fewer white Januaries and Februaries. . . .

Global warming, the heating of the atmosphere by increased amounts of industrial gases, is now accepted as a reality by the international community. Average temperatures in Britain were nearly 0.6°C higher in the Nineties than in 1960-90, and it is estimated that they will increase by 0.2C every decade over the coming century. Eight of the 10 hottest years on record occurred in the Nineties.

However, the warming is so far manifesting itself more in winters which are less cold than in much hotter summers. According to Dr David Viner, a senior research scientist at the climatic research unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia, within a few years winter snowfall will become “a very rare and exciting event”.

“Children just aren’t going to know what snow is,” he said.

    God loves to mess with these loons. Every time they hold one of their meetings..COLD SNAP. Its so awesome them talking about them claiming rising temps as the temperature drops outside and they are all hitting their auto starts for an hour to keep their cars warm.

    So when will these ‘tools’ morph from global warming scare to global cooling scare?

    @Frank G, very good point. For all those unemployed that would like to be working, we have put up with those who have no scruples still working and at what?

    Isn’t is awesome that the former Terminator wants to join these buffoons for Obama’s regime?

    *Note: Global Warming causes the oceans to release Carbon Dioxide, but Carbon Dioxide does NOT cause an increase in global temperature.

    The cause is being confused with the effect. …..intentionally!

    However, the refrigerator light does come on because a liberal has opened the door. (F-ing idiots!)

    @czekmark
    That is what this started out as in the first place with talk that our gases were making the layers thick and keeping the heat out. Even talk about coating the north and south caps in pitch TO INCREASE THEIR MELTING. It was in a time article in the library from the early ’80s…same nutters that switched their tune to the warming later.

    @ohio

    People are starting to and its becoming more and more apparent that its all a scam from the Green-etc people to academics that make their living on this false science. Countless times they’ve been shown its nonsense but since they are in charge of the peer reviewed journals..work never gets out and they are never taken seriously.

    This is all a scam to relieve people of their money. Just make a commission that will oversee a panel of phony experts. Remember, these experts can be easily pressured into a biased fact base because they rely on Government Grants to fund their research. If they do not produce the facts that the Government wants, the funds will dry up.

    They will create a Panic and sense of Imminent Doom, this will alarm the uneducated and ignorant. They will also have to find an enemy, that enemy is now you and me because we are the ones causing all of the green house gases.

    They can perform all the studies that they want, but one real big item that they always seem to leave out is this real big thing called the SUN!

    You can not control a solar flare. The Sun will do what it wants anytime it wants. The whole point is to create a Tax for Global Warming. It is all about control and theft of our hard earned cash.

    Bunker says:-God loves to mess with these loons.
    I could not agree more, the earth has long rebelled against the idiocy of man on behalf of its creator. There is an interesting passage in the book of Revelation 16:8-9 regarding the bowls of wrath, “the sun was given to scorch men with fire, and men were scorched with great heat”. We may not be scorching right now but the day is coming when these morons will receive of their wish. Glad I shall not be here.

    Bunker posting above is right. The weather lately is proof of a loving God who is absolutely messing with the environmentalist wacko liar forecasters who are so in the tank for manmade global warming (and all the wealth and power it can bring them) that they’ve grown gills.

    Warmer Winters? It’s been bloody freezing here in the UK for the last month. Why don’t these prophets of climate doom and gloom realise that nobody believes that crap anymore. So why don’t they just go and stick their heads in the desert sand somewhere, at least they’ll find it a lot warmer than here.
