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 …
Global warming, the heating of the atmosphere by increased amounts of industrial gases, is now accepted as a reality by the international community …
According to Dr David Viner, a senior research scientist at the climatic research unit 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.
I'm sure they are taking credit for pushing that disaster back a few years while claiming that continuing to push it back is becoming harder and requires more action.
If you ask exactly what action we took that avoided that first disaster, they will just call you a science denier, a Neanderthal, or a Nazi.

Yep. He said that ‘a few years ago’ . . .
