Yeah, it’s that time of the year, and the USA Today decides to jump into the cult, rather than, say, running some heartwarming stories
Are we seeing fewer white Christmases due to climate change?
Will we have a white Christmas? The annual question reaches peak curiosity this week, but as the planet warms due to human-caused climate change, the probability of seeing snow at Christmas is becoming increasingly unlikely, recent studies and reports have shown.
“With a warmer climate, it is likely that more winter precipitation will fall as rain rather than snow in many parts of the country,” said a 2021 report from Climate Central, a nonprofit science and communication organization. “Climate change threatens symbols of the holiday season from Christmas tree growth, winter recreation, and cozy drinks to Arctic wildlife.”
But impacts go beyond holiday traditions: Reduced snowfall and less snow cover on the ground could also affect water supplies, transportation, travel, and recreation for millions of people, the Environmental Protection Agency said.
Reports show that as the globe warms, snow, overall, is decreasing. In fact, between 1972 and 2020, the average portion of North America covered by snow decreased at a rate of about 1,870 square miles per year, an area roughly the size of Delaware, according to the Rutgers University Global Snow Lab.
Um, duh. That’s what happens in a Holocene warm period. No need to involve witchcraft, er, anthropogenic climate change. Anyhow, the cult propaganda continues on and on, but, fails to highlight if this is different from previous Holocene warm periods, which, is rather required to be Science.
On Delta you can track your flight. On final to Minneapolis, it was 17 degrees below zero at 5000 feet. I ain’t buying this global warming BS.
