What happened to Global Warming?

I seem to remember a prediction in year 2000 that the UK will not have snow after 2010 and a BBC program about the UK having a Mediterranean climate by 2012

We must be doing something right then, erm i think?

Maybe the solar minimum will be grand at stopping global warming if we get a mini ice age.

Not in any scientific publication. Globally, the years 2014-16 were the warmest on record, 2017 will be of a similar magnitude if not actually record-breaking.

GW is gradual, and small in magnitude compared to the daily and annual climate cycles, we won't be growing palms and olives in Derbyshire for a few decades, but it's coming.

It can be useful when raising taxes, y'know, "blame the environmentals" etc...

Monday morning train went past a solar farm. Lovely and bright. But panels covered in ice.

Here in Germany I can watch the weather forecasts from 20 years ago as they screen the news on a daily basis from that time. The fascinating thing is how identical the weather forecasts are in 1997 to 2017, even the temperatures are identical. The winters that are supposed to becoming later seem to be pretty punctual. Lets see how they are in another 20 years I dare say that you won't notice any differences.
