I don't think the warmists' models are working
Britain's warmists in 2000 predict the end of snow:
Britain's winter ends tomorrow with further indications of a striking environmental change: snow is starting to disappear from our lives.
Sledges, snowmen, snowballs and the excitement of waking to find that the stuff has settled outside are all a rapidly diminishing part of Britain's culture, as warmer winters - which scientists are attributing to global climate change - produce not only fewer white Christmases, but fewer white Januaries and Februaries…
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".
"Children just aren't going to know what snow is," he said.
But Britain in 2010:
After weeks of chaos caused by snow, ice and Arctic temperatures, weather men are predicting rain, rain and more drizzle until January…
For the second winter running, a severe month-long big freeze has cost the economy billions and this December is expected to be the chilliest since records began 100 years ago.
US warmists of the Union of Concerned Scientists in 2007 predict the decline of snow in US Northeast:
FROM thundering Niagara Falls to bustling Manhattan, the climate of New York is changing. Spring is arriving earlier, summers are growing hotter, and winters are becoming warmer and less snowy. New state-of-the-art research shows New York can expect dramatic changes in climate over the course of this century. Snow is an iconic characteristic of New York winters and an integral part of many favourite winter activities and traditions. But rising temperatures over the past few decades have caused snow to become wetter (or more slushy), and decreased the average number of snow-covered days across the state.
But the US in 2010:
New York commuters and travelers face further disruptions today as winds hinder efforts to clear roads and runways following the heaviest December snows in six decades.
Queensland warmists in 2007 predict the end of dam-filling rains:
(Queensland Premier Peter) Beattie said the effects of climate change on our region meant we could no longer rely on past rainfall patterns to help us plan for the future… "Given the current uncertainty about the likely impact of climate change on rainfall patterns in SEQ over coming years, it is only prudent to assume at this stage that lower than usual rainfalls could eventuate.
Ditto Australian of the Year Tim Flannery in 2007:
Over the past 50 years southern Australia has lost about 20 per cent of its rainfall, and one cause is almost certainly global warming....Desalination plants can provide insurance against drought. In Adelaide, Sydney and Brisbane, water supplies are so low they need desalinated water urgently, possibly in as little as 18 months.
But Queensland in 2010:
A massive rain system has caused record flooding in southern and central Queensland, with parts of those regions declared a disaster zone… On the south-east coast, up to 200 homes are expected to be inundated at Bundaberg today when the city experiences its highest flood peak in 50 years.
Some excuses.
