UK 'climate scientists' said 'Snowfalls are a thing of the past.' Billions were extracted from taxpayers based on that falsehood. Who pays us back?

"It's fun to ridicule the warmists because they are so often wrong, but their errors are in fact significant:

• a scientific theory that implies predictions that turn out to be wrong, is false.

A principal feature of climate hysteria is its proponents' unwillingness to be judged by the

• standards that govern real science....

3/20/2000: "Snowfalls are now just a thing of the past." (UK Independent). That is what global warming alarmists in Great Britain were telling us just ten years ago:

Britain's winter ends tomorrow with further indications of a striking environmental change: snow is starting to disappear from our lives.

Sledges, snowmen, snowballs and the excitement of waking to find that the stuff has settled outside are all a rapidly diminishing part of Britain's culture, as warmer winters - which scientists are attributing to global climate change - produce not only fewer white Christmases, but fewer white Januaries and Februaries. ...

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."

This year makes 3 years in a row of heavy snow in the UK. They also got the "barbecue summers" wrong.

Why would American politicians turn over its citizens to such a group?

Answer. (We're getting rid of these politicians as fast as we can). Because the climate industry is one of the biggest in the world, hundreds of billions with trillions estimated.

• Billions have already been stolen by organized crime in carbon trading and billions more lost in corrupt UN 'climate' programs.

And they have the media, especially the NY Times and Washington Post.

DEATHS DUE TO UNEXPECTED WINTER WEATHER IN UK

(CRIME: UK Met Office GETS PAID TO PREDICT THE WEATHER AND CAN'T DO IT. Much less 'global warming.' What are a few deaths, anyhow?

• No one including the UK Office, the UK Government, nor the US Government wants to admit there's an elephant in the living room. ed.)

"Fatal accidents, flu and the cold weather have put mortuaries in the capital under "severe pressure" following research carried out by the London Daily News. With local authorities sharing mortuary services in London like Enfield, Barnet and Haringey to save money, mortuaries are not able to cope with the number of deaths occurring in the capital in the build up to Christmas.

• Overall the government claims that 15 per cent of all deaths in London are related to the cold weather,
  

• this is likely according to statisticians and health experts
  
• to increase by a further 10-15 per cent in the next months.

Funeral directors have also spoken about "record number of funerals" in the last months, with one funeral director planning to recruit more staff in the New Year to deal with the demand. "...

• It might not be a crime if predictions weren't made for the purpose of extracting money and causing pain. But that isn't the case here.
  

Weather and climate are not political. This has been a farce from day one, but they're in too deep now to admit it. ed.
