China experiencing abnormal weather this summer - People's Daily Online
The maximum temperature of Nanjing on June 9 was 19.8 degrees Celsius, the fourth lowest daily high in early June since 1905, only next to June 8, 1911, June 7, 1987, and June 1, 1954, and also a record low for the same day in 100 years, according to the statistics of the Jiangsu Climate Center.
...
The cold wave that began at the end of 2009 has continually affected the weather until now. Meteorologists said this indicated that global warming has entered into a "cold cycle." Nanjing has experienced its coldest spring since 1992, and even experienced snow in April. The average temperature of Nanjing did not reached the standard of summer, which is above 22 degrees Celsius for five continuous days, until June except for the unusual heat during the May Day holidays.
Wiki Witch of the West « Calder's Updates
[CCNet, April '07] Last year a blogger on the Vanity Fair website, Jim Windolf, reported that he had found in a junk shop “a worn-out copy of The Book of Predictions, a compendium of ’4,000 exclusive predictions’ edited by the family team of David Wallechinsky, Amy Wallace, and Irving Wallace”. Among the gems from 1980 for his readers to chortle about, Windolf picked out the following:

“British science journalist Nigel Calder wrote that, by 2000, ‘the much-advertised heating of the earth by the man-made carbon-dioxide ‘greenhouse’ fails to occur; instead, there is renewed concern about cooling and an impending ice age.”

A thought policeman who uses Wikipedia to promote the man-made global warming hypothesis has now added that quote to my biography, with the comment: “After his prediction was proven wrong, Calder participated in the polemic documentary film The Great Global Warming Swindle. He also co-authored The Chilling Stars.”

Proven wrong, forsooth! As 20-year forecasts go, mine was rather good, wouldn’t you say?
