BWAHAHAHA: CRU 2000: "BRITISH SNOWFALL A THING OF THE PAST"

WUWT:

Richard North from the EU Referendum writes of a curious juxtaposition of forecasts, then and now. I thought it worth sharing here since it highlights the chutzpah with which CRU botched their forecast in March of 2000. At least they didn’t claim that UK snowfall was in a “death spiral”.

From The Independent on 20 March 2000 we got the headline: “Snowfalls are now just a thing of the past”. 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”.

THEY WERE AS WRONG ABOUT THAT AS EVERYTHING ELSE. WALES WILL GET 12 INCHES TODAY.

WUWT THAT HAS LOT MORE ON THE ISSUE - INCLUDING HILARIOUS SCREE-GRABS OF THE 2000 CRU PREDICTIONS.

AGW = BS.
