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.
David Parker, at the Hadley Centre for Climate Prediction and Research in Berkshire, says ultimately, British children could have only virtual experience of snow. Via the internet, they might wonder at polar scenes – or eventually “feel” virtual cold.
Five years later they predicted the UK climate would become the Mediterranean.
By 2010 (one of the coldest and snowiest winters on record in the UK) the Met Office was quite certain that Britain was moving to the south of France.
A 2C rise could mean summers in the UK reaching 38C – a climate similar to southern France.
That kind of temperature rise would see the traditional summer deep borders full of herbaceous perennials such as lupins and delphiniums replaced with Mediterranean plans.

In 2012, government experts announced the UK permanent drought.
Now that Britain is in a deep freeze and buried in snow, climate experts say they predicted it all along.
