For years we have been reading dire predictions about climate change. So I thought it would be interesting to go back a few years, read the predictions and see how things turned out. Following is an article from the Independent.co.uk published in March of 2000:

“Children just aren’t going to know what snow is,” he said.
The effects of snow-free winter in Britain are already becoming apparent. This year, for the first time ever, Hamleys, Britain’s biggest toyshop, had no sledges on display in its Regent Street store. “It was a bit of a first,” a spokesperson said.
Fen skating, once a popular sport on the fields of East Anglia, now takes place on indoor artificial rinks. Malcolm Robinson, of the Fenland Indoor Speed Skating Club in Peterborough, says they have not skated outside since 1997. “As a boy, I can remember being on ice most winters. Now it’s few and far between,” he said.
Let’s see how that worked out. Here is a link to the dailymail.co.uk article regarding today’s forecast for London:
Hmmmm. Much of England under “Level 3” cold weather alert, which warns of ‘100% possibly of severe cold weather, icy conditions and heavy snow.’
This is also happening in parts of the U.S. Check out the link to the International Business Times article about the weather this winter:
Incredibly there are still a lot of people who actually believe the global warming alarmist crowd. They think those of us who are skeptical are just afraid to acknowledge the science. The reality is that the nearly all of the science is on the side of the skeptics. Even the strongest global warming advocates have acknowledged that there has been no significant global warming for at least a decade. The other day, Bill Nye, the science guy was televised in a mini debate with Representative Marsha Blackburn:
The Washington Post headline regarding this encounter said: “Bill Nye Scolds GOP Congresswoman On Global Warming.”
The question is did the Washington Post write this headline because they didn’t bother to watch the show, or did they write this headline because they chose to lie about it?
Nye held up a chart of the Arctic and tried to claim that it showed how much ice is missing in the Antarctic. There is a good reason for that. An actual chart of Antarctic would show more ice. Like about 25% more ice. If we truly had global warming, wouldn’t it be “global?”
You can learn everything you need to know about the science by reading what both people had to say:
The actual statements by both were as follows:
Marsha Blackburn:
“Neither (Bill) nor I are climate scientists. He is an engineer and an actor, I am a member of Congress. And what we have to do is look at the information that we get from climate scientists,”
Bill Nye:
“We have overwhelming evidence that the climate is changing. That you cannot tie any one event to that is not the same as doubt about the whole thing,” said Nye. “There is no debate in the scientific community. I encourage the congresswoman to really look at the facts. You are our leader. We need you to change things, not deny what’s happening.”
Ms. Blackburn is more than willing to evaluate the science. Mr. Nye is only interested in silencing critics. My response is: Mr. Nye, if you have so much overwhelming evidence, why did you have to use a chart from the wrong pole?
The global warming crowd is screaming at the top of their lungs in a desperate attempt to drown out the sad reality that they are holding up the wrong charts.

The Grand Architect of the Universe does not make mistakes. Global warming and freezing has been a cyclic event since the Earth was formed. The Earth will continue to self balance in spite of human interference until God has had enough of our crap.
I was a skeptic from day one. I am now a non-believer. Great info.
