They wrote this in January, ahead of the second coldest December on record. Now they claim that they predicted the cold weather.

but they secretly predicted the worst record breaking cold winter……
Just didn’t tell anyone, and the people that they told didn’t tell anyone either………
This is how global warming works:
wait to see what happens in weather and then say that’s what global warming predicted would happen.
You do realise that your comment is not a joke. That is what they have started doing in the cooling world. Colder winters not warmer after all. Drought for Australia and now more rains afterall. The list is growing and the public have finally got their number.
I think he knows it is not a joke – but perhaps does not realize how inciteful it is.
Mat or Met? Or better yet, ” Lets lie in hindsght Office”
Interesting that they put last January’s freeze partly down to El Nino. By December that El Nino had long gone, so I’m wondering how they will account for the most recent freeze.
Hey Steven
I suppose that the Arctic ice extent at this time of year is of less interest than the late summer when it is minimal… Having just been at the NSIDC website to have a look,

what are you thoughts about the state of Hudson’s Bay and how its late freeze is affecting overall ice extent as well as the comparison with 2007?
Thanks.
Hudson Bay ice has no impact on the summer minimum. What is interesting is what is going on in the Arctic Basin.
I’m wondering if ice flow down between Greenland and Canada will start earlier next summer because of it.
“Winters like this are likely to….”
“Colder winters become less likely…..”
“Most climate scientists now say….”
“Global temperatures may be 4 degrees Celsius hotter by the mid-2050s if……”
“The World Meteorological Organization said…… that 2009 would likely…”
“In the short term, the Met Office expects…..”
“….but we are starting to see….”

A bit weak, innit?
Considering their barbecue track record….
I wonder if barbecue briquettes are part of their employee party budget? They crushed them for parking lot grit instead.
As Jeremy Clarkson put it, it’s forecasting with the benefit of Hindsight! http://climaterealists.com/index.php?id=6991

Icy winters will become increasingly rare… just not this year, because we told the government that it would be an icy winter (but they didn’t warn anyone about it), but told the public it would be warmer in some non-forecast advice.
It’s not even bad comedy.
Dave, by their own words, climate scientists are the worst PR people in this whole world.
At the same time they are saying they need to get their message out, they are saying that they knew it was going to be cold, but told everyone it was going to be warm.
It’s obvious that they are really that stupid, so who would be stupid enough to trust them with a forecast, short range or climate change…….
What is profound about saying that very cold winters will become rarer after you have had three very cold ones in a row? That is like saying that if you picked 3 hundred to one longshots at the racetrack in a row that those hits should become more rare.
Meanwhile, in Sri Lanka floods are not attributed to climate change:

They’re even described as “seasonal”, probably because Hugo doesn’t rule there.
