Virtual Snow
Dr David Viner
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.
According to Dr David Viner, a senior research scientist at the climatic research unit (CRU) 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.
Professor Jarich Oosten, an anthropologist at the University of Leiden in the Netherlands, says that even if we no longer see snow, it will remain culturally important.
“We don’t really have wolves in Europe any more, but they are still an important part of our culture and everyone knows what they look like,” he said.
David Parker, at the Hadley Centre for Climate Prediction and Research in Berkshire, says ultimately, British children could have only virtual experience of snow. Via the internet, they might wonder at polar scenes – or eventually “feel” virtual cold.

Hat tip to EU referendum
UPDATE: Ah, here's the man himself. Now a spokesman for the British Council. He just can't stay away from children it seems.

Bollocks I say.
Snowballs
your virtual snow kept crashing firefox on my PC glad to see its gone!
For those of us who donated merrily to save snow leapords and polar bears and never thought for a moment that somthing as enournmousley important as the CRP , would do somthing as wrong as deleting the origional data leaving only the modded data (no serious science group ever does that it all has to be for peer review raw data and all), all I can say is that I feel gutted.
worst bit was millibands de brief back in london , vid link showing ruin making even more unreasoned statements . questions section was farce , I mean he cant even answer key fact questions .Simply wasnt good enough to waffle on about agreements .
agreements for what ?? But then again I realised before copehagnen that , the wrong questions were being asked .
its an eco question and not a CO2 one , absolute disgrace how it got manipulated into carbon trade tax scenario .
As I have said before , large parts of vibrant nature , unmolested by human design , are needed to support the current population , nature has to do its thing, for us to do ours . Thats whats so annoying if they had agreed to clean up rivers , work to lower world population and re forest what had been cut down since 1990 it would be job done .
Currently snowed in, cheers global warming.
Ooh Matron aren't Muslim bad? Oooh Matron right up your bumhole ooh matron That Ron is terrible. Now that is out of the way Ron (Alamo) you can fuck off back to trolling on the Torygraph, off topic you are never on it you mendacious Ras Clart.
i wonder how much 'funding' those 2 cocks get from govt/eu??????
the temperature depends on the big yellow thing in the sky!
add to that in my neck of the woods(essex) we have a predominate s/westerly wind....so it is fairly mild...........when the wind blows straight down fron the arctic or in from russia in winter it is???? ..........????????
........cold!

Reminds of DEVO JOCKO HOMO
BUSINESSMEN ALL IN MONKEY SUITS

FUCKING CUNTS THE LOT OF EM
AGW = Aggravated Government Wobbery.
In parts of London youngsters will never see a white kid.
They will only be able to imagine what is was like to nick his dinner money and get jiggy with his sister.
Honkys will still be thought of like a big bad wolf though.
"It's cultral innit"
How about 'virtual scientists'? A lot cheaper than the current bunch of lying cunts at CRU & thereabouts & they could be 'terminated with extreme prejudice' if they started massaging the results - which might bring some words of mild disapproval if we did it to the CRU lot.
The original video of jocko homo has been silenced by youtube but by the grace of god it rings true?
can any of you liberetarian cunts remember boogy boy the son from the general
Hello boys! Just emerged from a three-hour rogering at the hands of Ron Broxted and some black Muslim Somali cock! Mmmmmmm!
anon 17.37.wasnt it 'boojie boy'??
saw devo at hammersmith odeon.....brilliant show! (late 70's)?
Help, when's the next flight to Mars?
Brickbat46 I remember that one!
It's always "within a few years" with ecomental cultists, isn't it?
You'll want to Google this 'Dr' David Viner and marvel at the career path of a professional parasite.
As well as leeching from the CRU scam-farm, he's also buried into the bowels of the "British Council", a leading Post Colonial Guilt quango ironically dedicated to destroying British culture in favour of some multi-hued panda-shagging globalisation clap-trap.
For a laugh though, check out his award for "Post-science Personality of the Year 2001". I think it sums him up nicely.
Cameron's a cunt too
Someone just explain to me in a straightforward way why the British Council needs ANYONE to be "actively involved in a range of climate change science, impact, adaptation and mitigation research projects". When did the British Council start doing research?
Don't we have enough unemployable "scientists" already?
Ohhh ........ right. Got it.
DZ
Wheres Eddie (THE EAGLE)Edwards opinion on all this fucking snow shite?
No cunt has asked him?
GO ON YOU TUBE LOOK UP DEVO !
SUMS THE FUCKING LOT UP
BTW I SAW EM WITH THE BUZZCOCKS AND THE SOUND OF THE SUBURBS BAND
THE GREAT DEVO VIDEO WHEN BOOJIE BOY RUNS UP TO HIS FATHER THE GENERAL AND GIVES HIM THE PAPERS AND SAYS"OH DAD THE WORLDS GONNA BE SAVED "
FUCK
I watched that film Kung Fu Panda the other day and was shocked to discover that it actively promotes the slaughter of snow leopards!
"focusing mainly on the younger generations, from schoolchildren to people in their 30s. These are the generations with the most at stake"
Focusing on those most easy to manipulate and with no memories that we've seen it all before, cunts.
Met Office still clinging to their prediction of a 'mild winter' despite todays Telegraph reporting
"Threat to power and transport as snow returns.
Heavy snow has begun to fall in parts of Britain as the Met Office issued several severe weather warnings."
"Meanwhile sales of salt have soared by up to 400 per cent in supermarkets as customers stock up to clear slippery paths and roads. There has been criticism in some areas that the authorities have not cleared pavements quickly enough."
Which is a bit bollox really since councils don't generally do pavements. I have this from the woman at County Highways who sends out the gritters.
Latest legal advice is to not attempt to clear pavements, since you're only making yourself liable by accepting responsibility for doing so.
Yes, it's got that bad.
Rogerborg;
That one has been about for a while..I heard about it well over 10 years ago.
We have already had snow twice this year!
The havoc it causes, and the bullshitting lazy councils mean it is more of a hassle than exciting.
Let's see. Last February the M11 was shut owing to feet of snow and lots of motorists were stranded. This december, similar problems on the M1 and lots of the usual problems in the North of England and Scotland. There are still vestages of ice in our close in a Cambridgshire village. This guy forgets we are a Northern European country. If not for the gulf stream we would be like Norway. e always get snow! It is rarely at Christmas because we use the Gregorian calendar. In Julian calendar times it was much more frequent.
McEgan you scruffy tosser just like your deadbeat old man. At least your mother served some useful purpose keeping shiploads of sailors from rogering themselves silly ashore. Fucking hell could she multi-task and your old man blew most of it on the ponies.
No wonder you turned out a useless piece of shite.
Martin you ought to calm down. Do you do anything except troll? No. Are you even any good at trolling? No. take up writing? no you can merely lie, spew forth gay porn and obviously have a proble, jealousy or De Clerambaults?
