Barack Obama blathered this week about a “coming storm” and told us that only really stupid people don’t share his faith in the 100% failed climate models.
Unlike Obama, London Mayor Boris Johnson is quite intelligent.
Weather prophets should be chucked in the deep end
“….for more than 20 years now, we have been told that this country was going to get hotter and hotter and hotter, and that global warming was going to change our climate in a fundamental way,” writes Johnson. “Do you remember that? We were told that Britain was going to have short, wet winters and long, roasting summers. It was going to be like 1976 all over again, with streakers at Lord’s and your Mr Whippy melting before you could even lick it, and Hyde Park scorched into a mini Kalahari.”
“They said we were never going to have snow again, and that we should prepare for southern England to turn gradually into a Mediterranean world. There were going to be olive groves in the Weald of Kent, and the whole place was going to be so generally broiling in summer that no one would be able to move between noon and 4pm, after which people would come out to play boules and sip pastis, to the whine of a mandolin, in the dusty square that had once been a village green.
“That’s what they said: the BBC, and all the respectable meteorologists – and I reckon there were tens of thousands of people who took these prophecies entirely seriously. Omigod, they said to themselves, we are all going to fry. The only answer was to build a source of permanent refreshment – and so they did. They saved up, and they remortgaged, and they got in the diggers. They moved huge cuboids of earth and used them to create curious berms at the bottom of the garden, and then they lined these trenches with tiles (jolly expensive) or with a kind of blue plastic sheeting (virtually indistinguishable and much cheaper) and then they filled these holes with thousands of gallons of water that circulated endlessly by an unintelligible process known only to the people who had installed it but who seemed unfortunately to have gone bust.
“…They were fools! Fools who believed that the global warming soothsayers really meant what they said or that they had a clue what the weather would be in the next 10 years.
“I hope I don’t need to tell you that we have not experienced a Mediterranean climate – not since they started to tell us to expect it. On the contrary, we have had some pretty long and miserable winters – including the last one, in which I saw snow settle in London on four separate occasions – and our summer is at risk of becoming a bit of a farce.”

h/t to Ice Age Now
Reblogged this on The Firewall.
1976 was 37 years ago, yet London has not remotely approached that kind of summer in recent years. What does that tell you about catastrophic global warming?
Possibly a future UK Prime Minister.
Even the space models fail: http://www.space.com/21751-voyager-spacecraft-nears-interstellar-space.html
This is why models cannot be trusted.
Where weather prophets profit, reason closets.

Piers Corbyn on Obama’s latest Cliamte Change speech:
“WE ARE ALL FLAT-EARTHERS NOW! OBAMA SPOUTS BRAZEN LIES AND CRETINOUS PSEUDO-SCIENCE. WE CHALLENGE HIM AND HIS CRONIES TO FACT-BASED DEBATE – ANYWHERE ANYTIME”
