Is Viner still being paid by UK taxpayers?
Last time I looked the professional scaremonger was still taking it in from the British Council. These people sure know how to access public funds – a skill of sorts I suppose.
The nice part about being an environment/climate savior is you are never held accountable for your predictions and can remain an authority. The other part is publication of predictions in a newspaper doesn’t count as peer reviewed literature and if it doesn’t happen it can be ignored.
Net Zero will take us back into caves, and there are not enough caves.
I live in Newcastle upon Tyne, apparently. according to the ‘experts’ I should have a vineyard as opposed to a garden by now, I haven’t!
Incidentally check up the official atmospheric CO2 concentration readings and pay special attention to those pertaining to the Pandemic years. The increase in atm CO2 concentration is statistically, negligible!
AS I have said before –
“Children aren’t going to know what a Climate Scientist is”
WE don’t know what a ‘climate scientist’ is.
You can have the clap for that true comment (:-))
A climate scientist doesn’t know what they are !!
To 1save energy – “You can have the clap…”
Did you really intend to wish Gonorrhea on the poor Old Met Man!!!
“You can have the clap…”
Double entendre & euphemisms, that’s the joy & beauty of the English language.
Which way would you prefer to take it ??? (:-))
Hi Paul, that archive page seems quite slow to load and then offers the option to contribute. It is also hard to read on a mobile. Perhaps a good idea to copy the image and text but include the link to the original.
Yes, unfortunately Wayback is a bit slow.
However the original Independent article has now been disappeared from the internet!
” However the original Independent article has now been disappeared from the internet! ”
Yes! That has been noted by others elsewhere.
Is it just possible that someone at the Indie was deeply embarrassed by the article?
Nothing to stop you borrowing from the wayback version?
Can do!
It is also preserved for posterity on WUWT, quite a bit quicker.

The photos remind me of the 50s and 60s and we didn’t have central heating in those days. Ice on the inside of the bedroom windows at some point every winter. Anyone would think this snow hadn’t happened before and they have the cheek to say it’s because of the Earth’s atmosphere heating up.
I was only talking to my 40 year old son about the snow today. When he was about eight the works Christmas party was cancelled because a heavy snowfall made getting there difficult.
4 December 1981 I was in Munich on a three week training course. I watched this game
FC Bayern Munich 4 – 0 Borussia Dortmund
The open area of the Olympic Stadium, where the Munich teams played their home games at that time, was closed as areas were knee deep in snow. Rummenigge scored twice.
I bet they are pleased that they now play at the Allianz Arena given the huge dump of snow they have had.

But he would have died quicker if it had been hot.
And I’ve just had to spend an hour, courtesy of her-indoors, shouting at the TV while Attenbollocks tells us all that we all need to go over to plant-based food. And ALL of his claims without ANY kind of attribution. But, according to him, whatever the problem, it’s all down to CC. I am really starting to hate the man and the BBC for putting so much rubbish into our children’s heads. I predict tgat it won’t be long before there’s a kids’ movement to ban all CO2 (sorry, Carbon).
I feel the same about Attenbore.
Harry, my wife is adamant that Attenbollocks actually died over 10 years ago.
He is now just a CGI that he predicted just before he died and being manipulated by……computer models.

On the subject of crickets, that is all you can hear from the HBC and the Guardian over the huge amount of snow around in Europe from France eastwards. In January they were hysterical over some warm weather and crying over the closed ski resorts. One resort has said it has got enough for the whole season – it is only the start of December!! Moscow has had snow since October and Ukraine has been battered by snowstorms which has hindered the Russian advance although the taking of Avdeevka is progressing well.
But we have a different kind of snow – don’t we.
Yes. It’s boiling cold.
Have there been any winters that no snow fell in the UK since 2000?
Not many by the look of things!
The BBC weather forecast for this area in Cheshire on Saturday gave ‘wintry precipitation’ – they seem unable to bring themselves to say ‘snow. Yes, it did snow and it was lovely to see the young girls next door building a snowman.
Keep up the good work, it really is appreciated.
As I recall growing up in the 1960s and 70s, a significant snowfall always was a rare and exciting event. There were quite a few winters when all we got was a bit of a dusting. There certainly was more snowy winters then than there are now but it seems to me that we now might be entering a cooler phase. That would certainly make sense when consider natural cycles in the past.
