For Climate Change Piece, ABC's Dan Harris Skips Agenda of Global Warming Scientist | NewsBusters.org
SCHMIDT: Well, nobody ever said that it would never snow again. I mean, you're still going to get cold anomalies but they're just going to happen less often. And soon they won't happen hardly at all whereas the other anomalies will come more and more frequently.

"nobody ever said"??? Short memory:

Well, where have I heard something similar before?
Following a series of mild winters in Britain towards the end of the 20th century, when the global warming hysteria was in its heyday, the Independent newspaper in the UK produced this now-famous headline on March 20, 2000
SNOWFALLS ARE NOW JUST A THING OF THE PAST
http://www.independent.co.uk/environment/snowfalls-are-now-just-a-thing-of-the-past-724017.html
Here are some quotes from it (remember this was in March, 2000):
“Britain's winter ends tomorrow with further indications of a striking environmental change: snow is starting to disappear from our lives.
Sledges, snowmen, snowballs and the excitement of waking to find that the stuff has settled outside are all a rapidly diminishing part of Britain's culture, as warmer winters - which scientists are attributing to global climate change - produce not only fewer white Christmases, but fewer white Januaries and Februaries
However, the warming is so far manifesting itself more in winters which are less cold than in much hotter summers. 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.
You may not have heard of the University of East Anglia then, but everyone has heard of it now.
It's also a shame that the children didn't know what snow was, it must have added to their bewilderment when in the subsequent winters of 2009 and 2010 they were buried up to their necks in it.
