In 2000, Dr. David Viner, a senior research scientist at the University of East Anglia's climate research unit, predicted that in a few years winter snowfall would become "a very rare and exciting event. Children just aren't going to know what snow is."
In 2004, the U.S. Pentagon warned President George W. Bush that major European cities would be beneath rising seas. Britain will be plunged into a Siberian climate by 2020. Why the Pentagon saw it necessary to branch into this field at least as unpredictable as warfare, they do not say.
In 2008, Al Gore predicted that the polar ice cap would be gone in a mere 10 years.
