Snow more to say about "Climate Change"?

"The science [of man-caused Global Warming] is settled" my ass:

Scientist's fear for Snowdon snow

Scientists have been studying the changing snowline on the mountain for 14 years.
Snowdon could lose all its snow in less than 15 years as climate change continues to take hold, it is claimed.
Wales' highest mountain has seen its snow covering fall by about a third in 10 years, Bangor University scientists and environmentalists have found.
Measurements show significant warming on Snowdon since the 1960s. Average spring temperatures are up about 2.5C.


Now this:

Summer snow falls on summit of Snowdon

This was the scene on top of Snowdon at lunchtime on Friday
The summit of Snowdon under a white blanket of snow: it's a picture postcard cliche.
But if you thought this photograph was taken in the dark days of winter then think again.
The wintry scene, at the Snowdon Mountain Railway's terminus near Hafod Eryri, was photographed at 1300 BST on Friday - in the middle of June, days before the start of Wimbledon and just over a week before the summer solstice.
Around the UK this week counties have been declaring drought conditions after one of warmest and driest springs in memory. Parts of Wales, too, have been experiencing very dry weather.


Even when Nature shows them that they have no idea what is happening or what's going to happen, the Changeistas have to shill their agenda. The "warmest and driest springs in memory" follow abnormally (for recent times) cold snowy winters in the UK.

I don't claim to have the last word on this, but the hypocrisy of some groups and individuals is staggering. There is absolutely NO PROOF that the earth is still warming, as opposed to local fluctuations in climate. The satellite temperature measurements are the closest we have to a global average, and as best I can tell they show no warming since 1998. Particularly since 2007 we've not been all that warm and the Arctic ice is recovering in area and thickness.

You can look this all up (I've seen it all but can't be bothered to look it up for links presently) and make up your own mind, though I advise a lot of cross-checking of facts and sources. That's standard research, but this of course only applies to people who want to KNOW what's going on; those who've already made up their minds don't need anything as crude as observations.

Models are the basis for all of the alarmist predictions, and not a single one of them has been right so far. They keep pushing the timelines farther out to make them unverifiable, which is the antithesis of Science. It's political and idealistic and accordingly dangerous. For reference, Hitler and Osama bin Laden were also idealists.
