"It snowed yesterday in London!" is as good a rebuttal as that waterbrained senator who came to congress bringing a snowball arguing climate change isn't real.
To your quote:
> within a few years winter snowfall will become "a very rare and exciting event"
This is absolutely true where I live, which is slightly south of the UK. I'll also note your quote has no cited date beyond "a few years".
So, not a great example.
- mike_hearn 4y agoTheir prediction was either wrong ("children just aren't going to know what snow is") or if you insist ignoring that part of the prediction, so vague as to be unfalsifiable. It's therefore a good example of the problems that have caused skepticism to grow, and what can be done about it.
