Snowfalls are now just a thing of the past – 20 MARCH 2000
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.
Professor Jarich Oosten, an anthropologist at the University of Leiden in the Netherlands, says that even if we no longer see snow, it will remain culturally important.
“We don’t really have wolves in Europe any more, but they are still an important part of our culture and everyone knows what they look like,” 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.

Children in Albania and Bulgaria are still having nightmares about last year’s historic snows.
I’m still a little tramatized 12 years later after reading that comment.
We don’t have wolves in Europe? That’s a good one.
And meanwhile the coldest August night for 40 years happened last night –

Impossible. CO2 would never let that happen! We beg your forgiveness Cotoo! Please restore thy heat retention upon us.
“This air was also dry, which meant there was very little moisture to help retain heat from the day. This, combined with clear skies caused by the high pressure sitting over the country, meant all the heat radiated into the sky – leaving very cold temperatures for the time of year.”
Climate research obviously is not related to fundamental mathematics. This can be the only explanation as to why “climate scientists” confuse the meaning of “few” as in “a few years”. In climate science, a few years can mean anything from 1 up to a few thousand years, just like a few inches sea level rise can also mean 1000 metres of sea level rise and 0.3 degrees temperature variance means TEOTWAWKI. The only mathematical functions I see being used in climate science are imaginary numbers. Who’d a thunk it.
Is it any wonder anyone with high school maths are starting to ask difficult questions of these so called climate scientists. They definitely give the rest of science a bad name.
