I think it's you that needs the English lesson because the way the quote is written, the 2021-2050 time period is associated with the statement it is in: "In the Alps winters will be 2°C warmer already between 2021 and 2050.” It doesn't apply to the rest of the paragraph.
The current date IS in the future from 2008 and the things they predicted haven't come to pass and there is no current trend indicating they will.
They were wrong. Deal with it.
No you are wrong. The "already" refers to the 2°C, not the date. That is, the temperature 'will already be 2 degrees warmer' (as opposed to, say, only a half degree warmer) somewhere between 2021 and 2050. It's as if you're pretending they didn't put a date there at all, when it's staring you right in the face. They made a prediction about the future, and put a date range for the prediction.
It's laughable that while the Democrats are alarming us about the world ending in 12 years from being too warm that so much of the country has had cold spells that are once in a generation event.
The plains just had the coldest weather since the 1990s and parts of LA have gotten snow and Las Vegas is getting it multiple times per week.
I find it ironic that after liberals were warning us about the world ending in 12 years due to climate change and global warming that it snows in the city of Los Angeles and Las Vegas.
There is massive concern about this horrendous cold spell causing damage to many plants in California that have been around for decades. Low temperatues down to 23 degrees in Romona which is a suburb of San Diego.
It’s laughable that you haven’t taken a basic environmental class but come on here to try to pretend you know what you’re talking about. Another worthless thread in an endless list of worthless threads.

And when these people make their dire predictions of man-made global warming, and they refuse to come true, they don't doubt their theory, they just make up another theory to explain why the first one is still true, even if their climate predictions based upon their theory is not coming true.
From the Met Office's report in 2013: The Recent Pause in Global Warming
Global mean surface temperatures rose rapidly from the 1970s, but there has been little further warming over the most recent 10 to 15 years to 2013. This has prompted speculation that human induced global warming is no longer happening, or at least will be much smaller than predicted. Others maintain that this is a temporary pause and that temperatures will again rise at rates seen previously.
They were puzzled as to why the warming they predicted didn't come true. They scrambled to explain why their man-made global warming predictions failed, and switched to calling it climate change instead. One new theory they have added is that the oceans are suddenly absorbing all the warming they predicted, as if the oceans were unable, or unwilling to do so in the past, and the oceans absorbing surface warmth is a new phenomenon.
But the world isn't losing snow. It's snowing in other places in large quantities. There's no shortage. Weather patterns can't be anecdotal in one area and proof of climate change in another. LOL. You are bought in. I'm glad you found a cause you believe in, because it sure as hell isn't science.

And being educated by people with an agenda makes you better? No wonder the teachers and professors of colleges and universities are so predominately liberal and leftist.
If you go to college and your professors are socialists or Marxists, odds are you'll come out away believing in Marxist ideology. It does not make Marxism or socialism and more valid over free enterprise, but it does turn you into a useful tool. Man-made global warming is providing everything the Marxist wants, needs and desires, and you cannot see it. Or do you?
Another ignorant thread about climate change. Anyone that has any understanding of it knows that it brings weather extremes - both warm and cold related.
No you are wrong. The "already" refers to the 2°C, not the date. That is, the temperature 'will already be 2 degrees warmer' (as opposed to, say, only a half degree warmer) somewhere between 2021 and 2050. It's as if you're pretending they didn't put a date there at all, when it's staring you right in the face. They made a prediction about the future, and put a date range for the prediction.
Already refers to now not the future. But it's written funky so I'll concede to your point about it referring to the temperature.
So are you down for the bet or not? No snow globally in the winter of 2021. I think there will be snow.

No, that is just the propaganda being used to support it. There is no science behind the notion that CO2 is causing weather extremes. There are always weather extremes, always have been, always will be.
However, if you count hurricanes and tornadoes as weather extremes, we have had fewer of both over the past few decades, and yet, here you are, claiming the exact opposite is true.
We were told be the man-made global warming scientists that there were going to be increased numbers of hurricanes and tornadoes, and then when the exact opposite happens, they say "well yeah, of course," and they changed the name to "climate change." and now weather events are offered up as proof of climate change. Why? Because then everything and anything is just more proof.
Hurricane Sandy was nothing but a perfect storm weather event, and yet it was cited as proof to you people of man-made global warming and climate change.
