‘2024 will be just as catastrophe as 2023' as weather warnings shake the nation

Meteorologist Jim Dale has warned that '2024 will be just as catastrophic as 2023' after 2023 was called the hottest year yet for global warming.

Asking Dale if he really believed this GBNews host Ben Leo then began to reel off climate predictions that have turned out to be false.

Ben said: "Can I just read a few predictions from yesteryear?

"In 2004, Mark Townsend and Paul Harris quoted a Pentagon report in the Guardian saying European cities will be plunged beneath rising seas in Britain.

"In 2000, David Viner, a senior research scientist said within a few years, snowfall in the UK will become a very rare and exciting event. Children just aren't going to know what snow is.

"So when we have these headlines saying last year was the hottest in 125,000 years, how do you expect people to believe it?"

Dale explained that sometime "scientist get it wrong and it could be a shot in the dark" before making his own prediction for the upcoming year.

He said: "2024 will be just as catastrophic in terms of the events that we've seen in 2023, not necessarily in the same place, but with what we've got in terms of the emissions that are carrying on and the temperatures that we're now seeing.
