‘Dickensian’ White Christmas may never be seen in Britain again due to climate change
Bing Crosby famously dreamt of a White Christmas, but Britain may never see a proper snowy scene on December 25 again, according to experts.
A ‘Dickensian’ scene of widespread snow on the ground on Christmas Day could be consigned to British history due to climate change, the Met Office says.
It’s not impossible that generous blankets of snow will cover British ground at Christmas again some point in the future, it told MailOnline.
But the effects of climate change mean the required conditions for snow in the UK will occur less frequently, and chances could keep getting smaller as this century progresses.
In other words, when it happens they will either say this is the exception or it’s actually caused by ‘climate change’.
The Met Office’s official definition of a White Christmas is just one snowflake to be observed falling in the 24 hours of December 25 somewhere in the UK.
Under this definition, 2020 was technically the last White Christmas in the UK, with six per cent of weather stations recording snow falling.
But the more generous Dickensian scene worthy of ‘A Christmas Carol’ – consisting of thick blankets of snow covering the ground up and down the country – has proved to be somewhat more elusive.
The story, which is actually entitled “A Christmas Carol. In Prose. Being a Ghost Story of Christmas”, was published in 1843, as the Little Ice Age was coming to an end. Dickens would have seen many a white Christmas during his years, but, he would have been only 2 when the River Thames really, truly froze over and they held an Ice Fair. But, see, the climate flips, going between warm and cool periods. Even during the cool and warm periods you can get the other, such as the period around 1945-1978, where the global temperatures were dipping. You even had a good freeze of the Thames in 1962-1963. Not like during the Little Ice Age, but, it was there.
This is a doomsday cult, though, so, they have to see witchcraft, er, carbon pollution, in everything, hence, because of things Other People do (not themselves, of course. They’re exempt because they Believe), things are Horrible and Doomy and we should all pay Penance.

Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a sceptical age. They do not believe except what they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men’s or children’s, are little. In this great universe of ours, man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge.

With another coronavirus variant racing across the U.S., once again health authorities are urging people to mask up indoors. Yes, you’ve heard it all before.
