The failed predictions of global warming and 'ice-free' poles
Over the years, we have seen many dire predictions of snowless winters. So far, the predictions have been 100% wrong.
Top 5 failed 'snow free' and 'ice free' predictions
1.) Scientists predicted in 2000 that kids would grow up without snow. It was 14 years ago now when UK climate scientists argued that global warming would make snowfall a "a very rare and exciting event".
2.) It's been 10 years since scientists predicted the "end of skiing" in Scotland. An article from the UK's Guardian in 2004 quoted scientists and environmentalists predicting the demise of Scotland's winter sports industry, including more remarks from Dr. David Viner, who had already predicted the end of snow in Britain.
3.) The Arctic would be "ice-free" by now. "Some of the models suggest that there is a 75 percent chance that the entire north polar ice cap, during some of the summer months, could be completely ice-free within the next five to seven years," Gore said in 2008. But in 2013, Arctic sea ice coverage was up 50 percent from 2012 levels.
4.) Environmentalists predicted the end of spring snowfall. In March 2013, the Union of Concerned Scientists predicted that warmer springs would mean declines in snow cover.
5.) The end of skiing. Ski towns across the country were worried about their prospects when temperatures temporarily rose up into 50s and 60s in early February. Scientists were fanning the flames by predicting that winter towns could see more hardships ahead due to global warming.

For decades, we have seen predictions that ice would soon be gone, and coastal cities would be flooded. ABC ran a report to scare the public in 2008. Manhattan would be under water by 2015 because the ice in the Arctic would be melted. The report was 100% wrong.

There is more.
As I have been saying for years, the poles are still not ice-free and New York City is still not underwater. The climate change crowd has a political agenda that is disconnected from the real world and their weather predictions.
