EU Referendum: Another day, another [blown] prediction
...Both those predictions, interestingly enough, were made in 1986, published in mainstream newspapers – the latter one in The New York Times. The headline was: "Signifigant (sic) rise in sea level now seems certain". Unabashed, they're still at it, even though the measurements from the period 1993–2003 indicated a mean rate of less than an eighth of an inch a year (and even that's disputed).

But hey! What's a duff prediction between friends? Just scrap the last one and make another. By the time it is proven wrong, nobody will ever remember and you'll be getting your nice comfortable pension. Meanwhile, we can all go water-skiing, in the Alps!
Gore's Global Warming Riff Keeps Melting - HUMAN EVENTS
What a strange week. First, we saw what just might be an official transformation of the institution of science into a bordello, as its constituent members cheered on proven nonsense about “global warming.” Then the American Association for the Advancement of Science applauded alarmist-in-chief Al “there is no debate” Gore for admitting to them that this non-existent debate needs their help. Topping it all off was former president Bill Clinton, refusing to be outdone, expressing concern that we might actually come back from our economic woes, which would only cause global warming.
Take climate change off the agenda - FP Comment
A consideration of the evidence is not too much to ask, particularly in these uncertain economic times. If our leaders continue to refuse to face facts we must hold them accountable — people no longer buy into the global warming state of fear. Economic realities and scientific observations have pushed global warming off the agenda, and so should Harper and Obama.
