Headline 1, from March 2000:
Snowfalls are now just a thing of the past
Britain's winter ends tomorrow with further indications of a striking environmental change: snow is starting to disappear from our lives.Headline 2, from last week:
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.
Coldest December since records began as temperatures plummet to minus 10C bringing travel chaos across Britain
Swathes of Britain skidded to a halt today as the big freeze returned - grounding flights, closing rail links and leaving traffic at a standstill. And tonight the nation was braced for another 10in of snow and yet more sub-zero temperatures - with no let-up in the bitterly cold weather for at least a month, forecasters have warned.I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of my Irony-meter exploding.
The Arctic conditions are set to last through the Christmas and New Year bank holidays and beyond and as temperatures plummeted to -10c (14f) the Met Office said this December was ‘almost certain’ to become the coldest since records began in 1910.
Just a decade ago, it was going to be so warm that it wouldn't snow any more. British children were going to grow up deprived of snowmen, sleigh rides, and snowball fights. After ten years of global warming alarmism, carbon offsets, and hybrid automobiles, we've done such an incredibly good job of not only halting global warming, but reversing its effects that Britons are buried under tons (sorry, tonnes) of the white stuff.
Or, perhaps, the global warming alarmists are so full of shit that even their snow is brown...
That is all.

I know you're not supposed to eat the yellow stuff, but what do you do with brown?? (Aside from make German films with Cartman's mom, that is.)
WV: porap. Yeah, poor AP... they keep publishing this crap!
My liberal warmist parents are two days into their trip to their cultural mecca of Paris...except that they're snowbound in Shannon, Ireland with little prospect of getting to the Continent anytime soon.
I can't wait to hear how the warmening is causing the coolening and ruining their vacation.
Xman
Very sensible commentary Jay. For a long time I have wondered how many people are making their fortunes from this nonsense.
Metric or English tonnes?
I think the whole panic over global warming is a crock. But that doesn't stop me from wanting an electric car so I don't give any more $$$ to those crazy Arabs or Hugo Chavez.
How much does a metric tonne of bullshit weigh?
Weigh Al Gore and find out...
A friend of mine is a dispatch supervisor for the London Ambulance Service and he tells me that they are just overwhelmed. People a calling for ambulances because there is no other way to get to a doctor or hospital if they are sick. Normal call volume in London is 4,000 per day, last week they did over 6,000 in one day.
England has no capability to deal with cold and snow such as they are having this year.
Global Warming indeed, although the liberals will tell you that colder winters in Europe are a sign that the world is getting warmer.
Sure, and the landings at Normandy are just a diversion because everyone knows that the real invasion will be at Calais.
