Snowfalls are now just a thing of the past

Monday, 20 March 2000

Britain's winter ends tomorrow with further indications of a striking environmental change: snow is starting to disappear from our lives.

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.

David Parker, at the Hadley Centre for Climate Prediction and Research in Berkshire, says ultimately, British children could have only virtual experience of snow. Via the internet, they might wonder at polar scenes - or eventually "feel" virtual cold.

That's hilarious!

In 1968, professor Paul Ehrlich, Vice President Gore's hero and mentor, predicted that:
England would not exist in the year 2000 because of GLOBAL COOLING caused by CO2!

Environmentalists' wacky predictions
At the first Earth Day celebration, in 1969, (might it be mere coincidence that Earth Day falls on Vladimir Lenin's Birthday?) environmentalist Nigel Calder warned, "The threat of a new ice age must now stand alongside nuclear war as a likely source of wholesale death and misery for mankind." C.C. Wallen of the World Meteorological Organization said, "The cooling since 1940 has been large enough and consistent enough that it will not soon be reversed." In 1968, professor Paul Ehrlich, Vice President Gore's hero and mentor, predicted there would be a major food shortage in the U.S. and "in the 1970s ... hundreds of millions of people are going to starve to death." Ehrlich forecasted that 65 million Americans would die of starvation between 1980 and 1989, and by 1999 the U.S. population would have declined to 22.6 million. Ehrlich's predictions about England were gloomier: "If I were a gambler, I would take even money that England will not exist in the year 2000."

In 1972, a report was written for the Club of Rome warning the world would run out of gold by 1981, mercury and silver by 1985, tin by 1987 and petroleum, copper, lead and natural gas
by 1992. Gordon Taylor, in his 1970 book "The Doomsday Book," said Americans were using 50 percent of the world's resources and "by 2000 they [Americans] will, if permitted, be using all of them." In 1975, the Environmental Fund took out full-page ads warning, "The world as we know it will likely be ruined by the year 2000."

Harvard University biologist George Wald in 1970 warned, "... civilization will end within 15 or 30 years unless immediate action is taken against problems facing mankind." That was the same year Sen. Gaylord Nelson warned, in Look magazine, that by 1995 "... somewhere between 75 and 85 percent of all the species of living animals will be extinct."

It's not just latter-day doomsayers who have been wrong; doomsayers have always been wrong. In 1885, the U.S. Geological Survey announced there was "little or no chance" of oil being discovered in California, and a few years later they said the same about Kansas and Texas. In 1939, the U.S. Department of the Interior said American oil supplies would last only another 13 years. In 1949, the secretary of the interior said the end of U.S. oil supplies was in sight. Having learned nothing from its earlier erroneous claims, in 1974 the U.S. Geological Survey advised us that the U.S. had only a 10-year supply of natural gas. The fact of the matter, according to the American Gas Association, is there's a 1,000 to 2,500 year supply.

Snow covers Britain from head to toe
07 Jan 2010

From head to toe there is barely a patch of land not blanketed by the heaviest snowfall in 50 years.

Robert Kennedy Jr : “Snow is so scarce today that most Virginia children probably don’t own a sled.”

“Few scientists now dispute that today’s soaring levels of carbon dioxide and other gases in the atmosphere will cause global temperature averages to rise by as much as nine degrees Fahrenheit sometime after the year 2000,
Carl Sagan said.” Dec 12, 1985

"Hermann Flohn of the University of Bonn, West Germany, said studies of the Arctic Sea ice cover have shown that prolonging the summer melt season by as little as two weeks annually would free the Arctic of ice in about 20 years.”Jan 9, 1982,

Energy Secretary Chu recently told the Los Angeles Times that global warming might melt 90 percent of California's snowpack, which stores much of the water needed for agriculture. This, Chu said, would mean "no more agriculture in California," the nation's leading food producer. Chu added: "I don't actually see how they can keep their cities going."

Well, just 2 years later we find that the snowpack holds more water than at anytime in the past 17 years.

Predictions

[Rogerdodger]

Well here in Tulsa we got an all-time record of 14" of snow with a equal temperature record of -6.

Friday, a forecast of an additional 1/2 inch turned into an additional 3 1/2".
A "bit more" today is expected and the another 7" to 10" Tuesday into Wednesday with lows in the single digits!
For us, this is the 3rd winter in a row with record snow or ice.

Yet those with a "religious" belief in Global Warming and belief in man's predisposed evil nature woefully injected into a pristine world of nature where he is an unwanted intruder (aka original sin) will not be deterred by such reality.
Especially when they gain power, wealth and prestige by such beliefs.
We need to sacrifice to the gods and do acts of penance, such as putting a plastic bottle on the curb to be picked up by a 5 ton diesel-burning truck while we drive our coal burning, inefficient "electric" cars, or equally wasteful ethanol powered transports, all equipped with a soothing GREEN LABEL.

Polar Ice Rapture Misses Its Deadline

While Harold Camping spends this week trying to wipe egg off his face after real-world events spectacularly falsified his prediction that the Christian rapture would occur on May 21, global warming alarmists are similarly trying to wipe egg off their faces after real-world events spectacularly falsified their predictions of an imminent polar ice rapture.

This week, a 1979 Palm Beach Post article resurfaced in which Steven Schneider, who for the past 30 years was one of the most prominent global warming alarmists, claimed the west Antarctic ice sheet could melt before the year 2000 and inundate American coastlines with up to 25 feet of sea level rise. Obviously, the west Antarctic ice sheet was not raptured away last century, and New Yorkers can still drive rather than swim to work.

If Steven Schneider was the only alarmist making spectacular – and spectacularly wrong – predictions about global warming and polar ice melt, then perhaps we could simply write it off as a single person who walked a little too far off the deep end. But spectacularly wrong global warming predictions, about polar ice and many other global warming-related issues, is par for the course for global warming alarmists.

Global warming, is there anything it can’t do?: Global Warming Causes Antarctic Sea Ice to Grow to 30 Year High

We must go back to living in caves or the icebergs will melt… (or perhaps increase dramatically.)

The important thing is that change is happening and all change is proof of climate change.

Rob Massom from the Australian Antarctic Division and Antarctic Climate and Ecosystems Co-operative Research Centre in Hobart said this week: “The message is there is a lot of work to better understand what processes are occurring around Antarctica and the role of these processes in affecting sea ice.” Dr Massom said the most authoritative climate change models forecast a loss of up to 30 per cent of Antarctic sea ice by the end of the century, and did not indicate the present expansion.

I wonder if any snow was involved with all of these avalanches?

Sheriff: 5 snowboarders killed in Colo. avalanche

Apr 20, 2013
GEORGETOWN, Colo. (AP) -- Five snowboarders were killed Saturday afternoon in a backcountry avalanche on Colorado's Loveland Pass, authorities said.

On Thursday, a 38-year-old snowboarder died in an avalanche south of Vail Pass.

Nationwide, more than 18 people have died in avalanches this season, according to the Colorado Avalanche Information Center.

Are you guys aware, except for a two or three of you, these thousands of redundant comments are getting exceedingly boring?
