The question was:
"Tell me, what predictions do you think climate scientists have made that have not occurred?"
Just ONE example...
“Within a few years winter snowfall will become a very rare and exciting event. … Children just aren’t going to know what snow is.”
David Viner, Climatic Research Unit, University of East Anglia, 20 March 2000
Even smart people sometimes say dumb things, but what I was expecting is a prediction written in a peer reviewed journal by a climate scientist....Do you have any?

"But then the prediction's accuracy faded sharply: the dramatic warming expected after 2008 has yet to arrive (see 'Hazy view'). “It's fair to say that the real world warmed even less than our forecast suggested,” Smith says. “We don't really understand at the moment why that is.” "
Here in new England we have just had a pretty severe winter. It felt like the winters we had in the 1980's and earlier. In my lifetime I have personally observed the weather becoming warmer and more variable. I have not observed the rest of the world but in New England, warming is a fact.
"Averaged over all land and ocean surfaces, temperatures warmed roughly 1.53°F (0.85ºC) from 1880 to 2012, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change."
Sometimes I believe people are blaming man made global warming on weather events that are not caused by this (overall ocean/land) 1.53 degree temperature increase.
But unfortunately the following sources agree with your observations.
"New England has already started to feel the effects of global climate change. Snow cover is decreasing and spring arrives earlier."
"Still, as global temperatures continue to rise — nine of the 10 warmest years on record have occurred since 2000 — the threat of a milder climate looms over the ski industry. In New England, the outlook is worse than in the West, climate researchers say, and independently owned resorts at lower elevations are at the greatest risk."
Charles Krauthammer In Washington Post Warns Of Climate Totalitarianism---The Fascist Left
When I was growing up in the 60's I remember the liberal hippies of those days were for total free speech, free love, anti government, anti rules, anti establishment...what the hell happened to you people how did you become such fascists?
The left of the political spectrum is focused on a centralized government, under which fascism falls.
Both extremes have authoritarianism. The problem is that people don't understand that ideas of politics exist outside of the American right-left context.

No, you're wrong, but thanks. Authoritarianism is on the left of the spectrum.
By the way, the reason this guy is so confused about things is because he was educated to think that everything is "equal." So the way things are taught in high schools is generally "well, the left had Stalin and Mao, but the right had Hitler." Wrong. The left had all three. Sorry if that makes people cry.
The right side of the political spectrum is anarchy, libertarianism, and conservatism.
The left side of the political spectrum is dictatorship, totalitarianism, fascism, and liberalism.
