“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”.
Or, as the other saying goes, “What a prat!”

NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT 
Yeah children don’t know what a proper climate scientist looks like.
And Wadhams of course.
Paul — I am so glad you dug this out; I was going to suggest you gave this story an airing. As well as making the scientist look somewhat over-eager, it also casts light on the journalist who wrote the report.
All persons younger than 20 year old must be put on ‘lockdown’ in windowless rooms, with special filtered BBC/government computer connection until winter has passed.
The government decree insists “All children WILL NOT know what snow is, as snow spreads new COVID mutations!”
Not ONE person finishing uni this year has experienced global warming, climate change or even the proven need to declare climate an emergency in their lifetime. The weather today is no different to that into which they were born.
At least he made a prediction.
Nothing makes me more angry than when there is a newsworthy weather event occurs someone drops a news release after the fact showing climate models predict more of the same in the future due to climate change.
Even worse is knowing that regional climate models have never been fit for purpose yet “Scientists” predict catastrophic changes in a representatives district to influence a vote on a bill.
As of today night we have 5cm of level snow in Leeds and trees and bushes are draped with it. Today was the second day it barely got above freezing all day. My weather station is already reading my -6c at 10pm tonight.
Never mind the climate models, here’s the autumn weather…
Storm Arwen: Revellers snowed in at Britain’s highest pub
27 November 2021
Staff at the Tan Hill Inn, which is 1,732ft (528m) above sea level, said they woke up to some 3ft (0.9m) of snow.
Anya Harnett, who works there, said about 60 people, including 40 pre-booked guests, are currently unable to leave due to the weather conditions.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-59421618.amp
[includes snow pics]
From the report:
“Twenty people, including an Oasis tribute band, were unable to leave the Tan Hill Inn in the Yorkshire Dales after being snowed in on Friday.”
Someone had tweeted ” Bloody hell, I think I’d go an take my chances like Captain Oates”
There are some people questioning this CC scam but with no mainstream platform to air their thoughts:
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2021/11/the_profound_junk_science_of_climate.html
Any chance the BBC will give the author just 5 minutes?
From the article:
“The climate models are an exemplary representation of confirmation bias…”
I would also suggest that they are an example of a tautology or circular argument combined
with begging the question. The modellers are attempting to prove that their hypothesis is true by programming a computer to predict what would happen if it was true. They are assuming the thing that they are trying to prove. They are then ignoring the fact that the models failure to match reality actually disproves the hypothesis.
I know I’m late to reply – but that (response) is just SO DAMN RIGHT!
(And it will never see the light of an unbiased media). 😦
Snow is obviously racist.
Well Ray . . . it is definitely a 4 letter word !
Jim, You mean “prat”, of course! 😉
Blox?
These barstewards are so devious and cunning which is why they changed it from Global Warming to the ubiquitous Climate Change to be able to include ANY weather event anywhere in the world at any time. Spells of hot weather, cold weather, snow, ice, rain, drought or dry periods – any type of weather can now be blamed on those two words I so hate and detest: Climate Change (pass the sick bag).
Which of course has now branched out to include practically ANY event in the world: war, rape, sickness, refugees, imbecilic management by politicians (as a get-out clause) – you name it ‘they’ will tell you what has caused everything.
Being wrong doesn’t seem to have held back his career, in fact it probably helps.
We should applaud and reward such talent and celebrate the best that Climate Science has produced. A prediction on message is all that is. required
Yes, over 21 years of being wrong and he is still employed and offering (no doubt bad) advice.

David Viner seems to have whole swag of ‘peer reviewed’ climate predictions from his research output which dates back to 1998
https://www.researchgate.net/scientific-contributions/David-Viner-2006838007
He has been affiliated with Mott MacDonald. Developers. Who are currently doing some awful development around the central railway station in Bristol.
For example no consideration for the elderly with suitcases, families with young children, buggies and all, disabled mobility around the area e.g. from train to bus. So it is no surprise this chump Vine has worked with them.
Surely his calling would be better suited to rooting around for hot potatoes with the other baboons ?
“… within a few years…”
For some values of ‘few’…

I remember John Ketley the BBC Weatherman saying exactly that in the 80’s.
0.9 Celsius in Newcastle upon Tyne suburbs and snowing as I type this at 10:25; 28/11/2021.
My garden has not become a vineyard and friends in the Costa del Sol are not climate refugees heading North because of drought, failed crops and heat induced plague.
Now there’s a surprise!
Grade A Opportunist – like the rest of them
It’s very warm today – the icicles are melting !!
It’s amazing that, apparently, these very low temperatures must be caused by catastrophic rising temperatures. But no-one in MSM has brought my attention to this disconnection!
How about watching those football games in Michigan yesterday?
The question is when will the people say enough of this climate change scam?
Off-topic but money well spent?
From https://order-order.com/2021/11/26/insulate-britain-cost-metropolitan-police-eye-watering-1-6-million-in-october/
Try sending tgat to the DT, Tom…. (I hope they print it).
Plus court costs and months in custody That bill will substantially increase and there maybe more convictions to come.
Would they of not been better setting up a company to source resources to insulate properties ?
These people should be cleaning public laboratories at the bare minimum.
2-3 inches of snow here in Lancashire today. It’s still snowing as I write.
Snow in November is not exactly unknown in these parts but it is rare for it to stick at this time of year.
How about the snow in Michigan yesterday seen by all those watching football? Hopefully, people are waking up to the fossil fuel CO2 caused climate change scam. Thanks for all you do.
40-50cm in the Haute Savoie today. A little early (yippee!) but the ski resorts are happy, even though it’s a bit slippy.
Tonight’s pudding is Elsanta strawberries and fresh raspberries.
Without climate change this wouldn’t be possible would it?
“Within a few years winter snowfall will become “a very rare and exciting event””.
He has the perfect excuse for current snowfalls — it’s not winter yet 😆
Lovely sunny day here in Torbay and sitting out at beachfront cafe without a coat this morning.
Pretty busy but thank goodness the tourists have mostly gone, although the turkey and tinsel brigade are appearing
As of today night we have 5cm of level snow in Leeds and trees and bushes are draped with it. Today was the second day it barely got above freezing all day. My weather station is already reading my -6c at 10pm tonight.
You are confusing reality with ideology, which is why you don’t understand Climate Change. It’s not about actualite.
