Remember The Independent’s “snow will be a thing of the past by 2010″? Well, here is a warmist’s prediction that global warming will more than compensate for a mini Ice Age.

Remember the Independent article from 2000 predicting that UK winter snowfalls would be a thing of the past within ten years?
