The Independent, 2000:
This was 24 years ago.
Snow is starting to disappear from our lives. 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 … Global warming, the heating of the atmosphere by increased amounts of industrial gases, is now accepted as a reality by the international community … According to Dr David Viner, a senior research scientist at the climatic research unit of the University of East Anglia, within a few years winter snowfall will become "a very rare and exciting event". "Children just aren't going to know what snow is," he said.
Stand by for icy blasts and heavy snow

Everybody knows Global Warming is bullshit. Everyone knows it to the point that it has become a point of worldwide derision and mocking. And yet the true believers, the apostles of Global Warming, will take their religion to the grave.

As a child, vividly recall the daily 3-block trek back n forth to school...NEVER using the shoveled sidewalks but rather using the plowed snowbanks, which were several times our height.
Throwing snowballs at passing buses...bonus points for hitting the bus driver's windshield.
...ah...those were the days!! happy77
