Did it snow a lot in your neck of the woods?
Are you seeing less snow this year?
You may never see snow again, we predict.
Climate change means that too.
In the space of two weeks, the New York Times has stories that say climate change will end snow forever, reduce the amount of snow somewhat, or cause more snow than ever before.
My head hurts. Mostly because it is -6 degrees outside right now in Minneapolis, but the intellectual whiplash the New York Times is giving me doesn’t help.
Lest you think I am exaggerating, I am not. The Times had three stories separated by less than two weeks describing the relationship between climate change and snow, covering the entire range of possibilities save one: snowfall, on average, will remain the same.
Not that “the same” would mean much on human timescales. Climate never remains the same…
