David Viner – March 2000
“within a few years winter snowfall will become "a very rare and exciting event"”.
“Children just aren’t going to know what snow is,"

As the saying goes, “Pictures speak louder than words”.

NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT 
As a practical joke, I suggest several blokes with plows deposit as much snow as possible in Viner’s front yard. That would be funny stuff. 🙂
Viner has achieved immortality with his inane remark. Every time it snows in the UK from now on, his statement will be trotted out.
That’s a great selection of pictures. Ridiculing David Viner is fun, but there’s a serious point here. If people hadn’t been misled by idiots like Viner, Heathrow Airport might have got some suitable equipment and might now be able to cope with a couple of inches of snow.
Should he be jailed or only sued? Pity we can’t use the stocks any more.
Well I tried leaving a comment about Weather action forecasts vs the met office but it hasn’t appeared, anyone know why?
There’s nothing in spam, Adrian.
“within a few years a mild winter will become “a very rare and exciting event””.
“Children just aren’t going to know what a mild winter is,”
Gotta feel sorry for the poor guy – one stupid idiotic alarmist comment and he is branded for life !
Oh wait – he is one of the clique that proposes things like tattooing deniers, gassing deniers with carbon monoxide, terrifying children with bogus science …..etc etc.
To hell with sympathy – off with his head !
At the time Viner made the prediction he was climate modeller. He was so convinced by the output of the models that he proclaimed that children aren’t going to know what snow is. Any sane scientist would at least begin to question the value of climate models. Just look at the 16 years of flat temperature which flies in the face of former IPCC / Met Office projections.
But I bet Mr. viner is still gainfully, and perhaps lucratively employed.
Viner’s Snow Job has had Unintended Consequences, it seems.
