“The kids just don't know what snow is.”

– David Viner, University of East Anglia Climate Research Division (2000)

One argument against climate alertness is the failure of the prediction record of scientist activists themselves. Can be independent (March 20, 2000), “Snowfall is just a thing of the past. This forecast belongs to David Viner, a senior research scientist at the Department of Climate Research (CRU) of East Anglia University (yes, the climate gate is notorious).

The article begins with: “Winter in Britain will end tomorrow, further signs of environmental change: snow begins to disappear from our lives.” Continue:

Sleds, snowmen, snowballs and waking excitement are finding that these things have settled outside are all fast-reducing parts of British culture, as warmer winters (scientists all attribute to global climate change that produce not only white Christmas but also fewer white precious simplicity and everworms.

Recent anecdotal evidence is under control.

During the first two months of 2000, there was little heavy snowfall in most parts of the Lowlands UK, while December brought only mild snowfall in the southeast. Over the past 15 years, the continuation of this trend has become increasingly visible: in southern England, for example, snow and sleet fell by an average of 3.7 days from 1970 to 1995, while from 1988 to 1995, the average was 0.7 days. The last heavy snow in London was in February 1991.

Global warming in the UK is winter-oriented:

But, so far, warming is more like winters than winters where it is hotter in summer. According to Dr. David Viner, senior research scientist at the University of East Anglia Climate Research (CRU), winter snowfall will be a “very rare and exciting event.” “The kids just don't know what snow is,” he said.

Go back to the recent anecdotal evidence:

The effects of snowless winter in Britain have become evident. This year, the UK’s biggest player Hamleys did not show sleds in its Regent Street Store for the first time. “This is the first one,” a spokesperson said.

Fen skating was once a popular sport in the fields of East Anglia and is now being performed on an indoor artificial ice skating rink. Malcolm Robinson of the Finnish indoor speed skating club in Peterborough said they had not skated outside since 1997. “As a kid, I remember most of the winters were on ice. It's rare now,” he said.

Michael Jeacock, a local historian in Cambridgeshire, added that a generation has “not experienced one of the world’s greatest joy and life privileges – open air skating.”

Warming in winter seems to have obvious benefits, ranging from low energy bills to less cold deaths. The article says, but this is not the case.

Warm winters have significant environmental and economic implications, and extensive research shows that pests and plant diseases that are often killed by sharp frosts may thrive. However, there is little research on the cultural impact of climate change, and for example, our Christmas concept may have to change.

The ending of snow is considered certain.

Professor Jarich Oosten, an anthropologist at Leiden University in the Netherlands, said that even if we no longer see snow, it will remain culturally important.

“We have no wolves in Europe anymore, but they are still an important part of our culture and everyone knows what they look like,” he said.

David Parker of the Hadley Centre for Climate Forecasting and Research in Berkshire ended up saying that British children can only have virtual experience with snow. Through the internet, they may feel suspicious of the polar scene, or eventually “feel” the virtual cold.

Dr. Wiener said heavy snow would occasionally return, but when we were not prepared. “We're really going to be caught. The snow could cause chaos in 20 years,” he said.

Of course, these people now have the possibility of accumulating heavy snow in cities like the Impressionist painters such as Sisley and the 19th-century poet Robert Bridges, who wrote in the snow in London, “secretly, permanently settled and loosely lying”.

It seems to be no longer.

Like the Climate Gate email, you can’t undo the words, sentences, and paragraphs of this article.

Elsewhere, skeptical and caring Too many Snow:

The winter of 2009/2010 saw many dramatic and destructive snowstorms. In early February, two “one in 100 years” blizzards hit Philadelphia, now known as “Snowmageddon.” Does the record snowfall prove that there is no global warming? What do you say about observation? 2009 is the second year on record. January 2010 was the hottest January in the UAH satellite record. Satellite data show that last month was the second hottest February in satellite records. Observations tell us that rumors about deaths in global warming are greatly exaggerated.

Exaggerated opposition

There is a lot of snow and even a record of chills, and we are told that “climate change” is the cause. There are too few such Dodges, it's too late. Chronic exaggeration creates a credibility issue, as Michael Shellenberger Forbes Column, why climate shock hurts us all.

Bjorn Lomborg's bestseller, False Alerts: How Climate Change Panics cost us trillions of dollars, hurt the poor, and can’t solve the Earth“Based on the same subject. Don’t forget the work of 16 years old at the time New York Times Climate scribe Andrew Revkin, in climate debate, exaggeration is a trap.

The last sentence belongs to Fred Krupp, a former head of the Environmental Defense Fund, who said in 2011:

Our language has to bring a lot of harsh harshness. In the environmental community, we have to become more humble. We cannot take the attitude of all our answers. ”
