The winter poor George Monbiot never saw coming - dickhead

British warming propagandist George Monbiot in 2005:  It is now mid-February, and already I have sown eleven species of vegetable. I know, though the seed packets tell me otherwise, that they will flourish. Everything in this country - daffodils, primroses, almond trees, bumblebees, nesting birds - is a month ahead of schedule. And it feels wonderful. Winter is no longer the great grey longing of my childhood. The freezes this country suffered in 1982 and 1963 are - unless the Gulf Stream stops - unlikely to recur. Our summers will be long and warm. Across most of the upper northern hemisphere, climate change, so far, has been kind to us Poor, cold George, shivering in snow-bound Britain:  The Big Freeze will hold us in its grip for at least another month, forecasters warn. Arctic conditions are expected to last through the Christmas and New Year bank holidays and beyond. With temperatures expected to fall to -15c (5f), the Met Office said this is ‘almost certain’ to become the coldest December since records began in 1910.
