Do you remember that last summer we had a look at the northern hemisphere snow-mass graphs to watch the sad and utterly regrettable demise of snow as promised by the AGW/Climate Change alarmists? Oh, wait, that’s not how it played out was it? See here (January) and here

If there’s one silver lining of the Wuhan Plague, it’s that the fallacy of computer modelling has been stripped bare for all who care to see. Over-reliance on modelling has been one of the biggest factors in the snowballing crisis in modern science (alongside a broken peer-review system
