From 18 years ago:
“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.”
That's hilarious ... great find !!!
Dr. Viner has likely reaped full measure of professional visibility, grants, chairs, speechifying and other benefits from putting himself forward with what all now can see was politicized, non-scientific idiocy. If anything, his retirement package is likely flush as he travels the world incognito, slightly embarrassed, but nonetheless laughing that he knew how to milk the system better than his peers.
