Today’s unhinged Warmist howler comes from the Boise Weekly
A World Without Winter
Climate change could mean umbrellas become winter gear
You know with a headline and sub-head like that, the article will be Typical Warmist Insanity
But what if Idaho winters went the way of the dodo? What if continued climate changes mean that winters heat up and seasonal snows become a memory told in tales that start with the phrase, “When I was a kid…”?
Funny, because snow is in the forecast.
While there are still some skeptics out there, the majority of scientists now agree that the world is experiencing climate change and that its effects vary by location. In Idaho, forecasting models predict that winters will continue to get warmer and, because of that, most of the precipitation in the Treasure Valley will come in the form of rain, with snows limited to higher and higher elevations.
I guess a 17 year pause is now considered “climate change”.
While warmer temperatures could mean that people would be able to spend more time outside, rain could seriously dampen traditional outdoor winter recreation opportunities, as well as push more people inside during particularly soggy periods.
Doom, I guess.
Abramovich pointed to the dry pattern that dominated Idaho from 2000 into 2007, which led to some explosive fire seasons. But starting in 2007, the pattern switched to a cool, wet one, leading to heavy snow years. While the winter of 2012-2013 wasn’t a record-breaker, it doesn’t determine what will happen this year.
So, wait, short term weather patterns change? Is that possible? Isn’t the weather supposed to be completely predictable?
“In the ’60s, weather was more normal,” Abramovich said. “Now you can’t depend on the spring rains.”
So, I guess we’ve established that the 60’s were optimal, when temperatures world-wide were dipping down despite an increase in GHGs.
