“Children just aren’t going to know what snow is,” he said.
WRONG
2007: Tim Flannery (Australian Climate Commissioner) “So even the rain that falls isn’t actually going to fill our dams and river systems”
…
2008: David Jones (Australian Bureau of Meteorology) “There is a debate in the climate community, after … close to 12 years of drought, whether this is something permanent”
…
2009: Bertrand Timbal (Centre for Australian Weather and Climate Research) “But we are just not going to have that sort of good rain again as long as the system is warming up.”
Al Gore on 13 December 2008: “The entire north polar ice cap will be gone in 5 years”

"12 Dec 2007" Scientists in the US have presented one of the most dramatic forecasts yet for the disappearance of Arctic sea ice.
