We all remember how some scientists (David Viner and Mojib Latif, for example) boldly announced some 18 years ago that snow and ice at latitudes 40 – 55°N would become rare.
Yet looking at the latest data, we see that ironically it’s bare ground that has become “a thing of the past”. Spiegel science journalist Axel Bojanowski tweeted here.
The Spiegel journalist tweeted (emphasis added):
Because there has been some commotion due to the #Snow: No snow at our latitudes is currently the exception worldwide (white shading).”
With frigid temperatures and heavy snows gripping much of the Northern Hemisphere, this is a quite an embarrassment for climate experts who earlier confidently claimed snow would become rare due to global warming.
Furthermore not only has snow returned with a vengeance, also global surface temperatures over the past 20 years have risen insignificantly.
World and business leaders should be reminded of this as they head to a snow-buried Davos.
Another eyebrow-raising anecdote is found in Montreal, Canada, where the mighty St. Lawrence River may have a U.S. Navy ship trapped until spring: “due to icy waters.”
Though we do not find ourselves in an ice age, it sure feels like it across the northern hemisphere this winter.
here’s hoping all those Global Warming/Climate Change idiots are digging out their driveways and sidewalks or did the idiots throw away their snow shovels
I’ll repeat one of my past posts. About ten years ago some ski resorts in the Alps followed the advice of the environmentalist and didn’t upgrade their facilities because there wasn’t going to be any more snow. A few years later there was record snow fall.
Now I have a prediction. After 20 years of failed warmist predictions, they will continue to make more predictions on the consequences of global warming/climate change.
no-brainer
Never ever take advice from a bunch of Granola Bar Munchers/Tree Huggers
Uhh GLOBALLY, 2017 was the warmest non-El Nino year on record and 3rd warmest overall. PLUS snow is an indicator of moisture NOT cold AND only parts of North America were cold NOT the entire Northern Hemisphere.
But it was a good try at misinformation.
