>> I doubt very much that climatologists (as opposed to, say, popular media) were predicting anything of the kind you describe with “absolute confidence”. Here's proof but there's far more where it comes from.

"Children just aren't going to know what snow is," he said. https://realclimatescience.com/2023/03/the-end-of-snow-8/ https://realclimatescience.com/2023/03/the-end-of-snow-8/ Reality, March 2023: Met Office weather: Snow could return as fresh -4C blast to hit UK. A return of wintry weather has not been ruled out despite the country now being in spring https://www.somersetlive.co.uk/news/uk-world-news/met-office-weather-snow-could-8271844 https://www.somersetlive.co.uk/news/uk-world-news/met-office... Climatologists have a reputation for being always wrong not due to media mis-representation. The media by and large doesn't misrepresent what they're saying. They have that reputation because they keep making stupid predictions with absolute confidence that then don't come true, and they never admit that this has happened even though the archives are full of examples. https://extinctionclock.org/ https://extinctionclock.org/
