According to the 2009 report:

“Met Office climate predictions suggest that by 2080 the average winter night-time temperature in the Highlands will be 2C – four degrees higher than the current average of -2C.”

 

Meanwhile, back in the real world.

    Snow Joke, but the media is.

    Predictions are very difficult, especially ones about the future.

    The fellow highlighted in the article, Hamish MacInnes, seems to think all the recent snow is because of climate change, saying

    “He said he had been critical of climate change science in the past.
    “I wrote an apology to the people who predicted climate change,” he said.

    Really, to whom did he write and what did he say?

    Dear Climate Change Person, I’m sorry I said you were a nut case. You are not. I am now enlightened. Cold is warm, wet is dry, and you speak the truth – snow, where it has snowed for hundreds of years (I know because on my first climb in 1945 there was a great deal of snow) is proof of climate change. Please accept my apology. Now where are my meds and can someone help me back to the padded room.

    Auslan Cramb, the writer of the 2009 article, seems less than perceptive, also,

    Hamish McInnes – have you heard that they are taking the word “gullible” out of the next Oxford Dictionary??

    Or we started entry into the next glaciation 1000 years ago and in the course of a human lifespan, the blink of an eye in geological terms, some people will believe anything the newspapers tell them. Poor old Hamish.

    Thanks, Paul.
    I’m cancelling my reservations for a Scottish skiing trip in 2063. I will quote the BBC report.
    I expect a full refund.
