March 2000:\u00a0 Charles Onians of Britain’s The Independent<\/em> penned a global-warming doomsday warning entitled “Snowfalls Are Now Just a Thing of the Past”<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Britain’s winter ends tomorrow with further indications of a striking environmental change:\u00a0 snow is starting to disappear from our lives…\u00a0 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.’\u00a0 ‘Children just aren’t going to know what snow is,’ he said.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Does “the climatic research unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia” ring a bell?\u00a0 It was at the center of last year’s “Climategate” scandal<\/a> in which global warming alarmists were shown to have manipulated their research and plotted against scientists whose views differed from their own.<\/p>\n

Fast forward ten years, to December 2010, and a report from Britain’s Mail Online<\/em> entitled “Coldest December Since Records Began as Temperatures Plummet to Minus 10 C Bringing Travel Chaos Across Britain”<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Swathes of Britain skidded to a halt today as the big freeze returned – grounding flights, closing rail links and leaving traffic at a standstill.\u00a0 And tonight the nation was braced for another 10 inches of snow and yet more sub-zero temperatures – with no letup in the bitterly cold weather for at least a month, forecasters have warned.\u00a0 The Arctic conditions are set to last through the Christmas and New Year bank holidays and beyond as temperatures plummeted to -10 C (14 F).\u00a0 The Met Office said this December was ‘almost certain’ to become the coldest since records began in 1910.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thanks to Al Gore’s amazing Internet, which provides us a record to test the amazingly ludicrous assurances that he and his fellow climate change alarmists have made.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
