When it was reported that the UK had seen the last snowfall they'd ever have in 2007 there followed some of the snowiest years they'd ever seen. But warmists were quick to point out that this prediction came from a minor actor at the MET, and so it did not reflect on climate science as a whole.
But when the Guardian claimed that we had only 100 months to reverse course and save the planet from doom it was backed by some grandmaster climate scientists including James Hansen, father of catastrophic global warming, himself.
Prediction is the heart and soul of climate science when it comes to recommendations for public policy. If they can't get the predictions right then they are useless. And, as a matter of fact, they can't.
100 months went by and nothing much happened. In fact, during that period there has been no significant global warming at all.
The repeated failures of climate science to make these sorts of predictions ought to mean that it should not be used to make public policy.
The Guardian's '100 months to save the planet' was always just a fantasy
