There's plenty of such threads. This isn't one of those. THIS thread is about the 2000 prediction that "snowfalls will be rare."
You won't address that at all, instead you merely try to deflect, reflexively defending your sad, failing religion.
We have had ten years of study since 2000. People understand things better all the time. Computers now have models that didn't exist 10 years ago.
This is why Republicans don't do well with science. They don't study, they don't learn. For many of them, the only book they read was written by primitives living in the middle east thousands of years ago. Their God believed in slavery. These days, in this country, slavery is illegal. See how things have changed?
Yes, the computer models now are no better than they were then. They still can't accurately tell you what has allready happened. This is a link to a peer reviewed study that shows just how bad the climate models are.

Keith Briffa has publicly admitted he could not reproduce his own work. Do you have a clue just how bad that is for a scientist to admit that? About his own work?
From the New York Times, 128 years of looming polar doom:
Hey the left has been a "roll" for years why stop them now
•
1881: “This past Winter, both inside and outside the Arctic circle, appears to have been unusually mild. The ice is very light and rapidly melting …”
•
1932: “NEXT GREAT DELUGE FORECAST BY SCIENCE; Melting Polar Ice Caps to Raise the Level of Seas and Flood the Continents”
•
1934: “New Evidence Supports Geology’s View That the Arctic Is Growing Warmer”
•
1937: “Continued warm weather at the Pole, melting snow and ice.”
•
1954: “The particular point of inquiry concerns whether the ice is melting at such a rate as to imperil low-lying coastal areas through raising the level of the sea in the near future.”
•
1957: “U.S. Arctic Station Melting”
•
1958: “At present, the Arctic ice pack is melting away fast. Some estimates say that it is 40 per cent thinner and 12 per cent smaller than it was fifteen years [ago].”
•
1959: “Will the Arctic Ocean soon be free of ice?”
•
1971: “STUDY SAYS MAN ALTERS CLIMATE; U.N. Report Links Melting of Polar Ice to His Activities”
•
1979: “A puzzling haze over the Arctic ice packs has been identified as a byproduct of air pollution, a finding that may support predictions of a disastrous melting of the earth’s ice caps.”
•
1982: “Because of global heating attributed to an increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide from fuel burning, about 20,000 cubic miles of polar ice has melted in the past 40 years, apparently contributing to a rise in sea levels …”
•
1999: “Evidence continues to accumulate that the frozen world of the Arctic and sub-Arctic is thawing.”
•
2000: “The North Pole is melting. The thick ice that has for ages covered the Arctic Ocean at the pole has turned to water, recent visitors there reported yesterday.”
•
2002: “The melting of Greenland glaciers and Arctic Ocean sea ice this past summer reached levels not seen in decades, scientists reported today.”
•
2004: “There is an awful lot of Arctic and glacial ice melting.”
•
2005: “Another melancholy gathering of climate scientists presented evidence this month that the Antarctic ice shelf is melting - a prospect difficult to imagine a decade ago.”
