My son...did you hear about the record snow fall in Alaska yesterday? Yeah...thought so.
How about that record cold and snow in Calgary... In...wait for it....JULY!!!!!
Two can play at this game, but I always win.
Yeah, if you are a Libertarian moron who doesn't understand the difference between local weather and global climate.
Since you brought up Alaska, let's look at Alaska.
Alaska Is the Canary in the Climate Coal Mine, and That Bird Is in Trouble
Something does seem to be going on in Alaska. Last fall, a skipjack tuna, which is
more likely to be found in the Galápagos than near a glacier,
was caught about 150 miles southeast of Anchorage, not far from the Kenai. This past weekend, race organizers had to
truck in snow to the ceremonial
Iditarod start line in Anchorage.
But it’s unclear how long that will be possible. Alaska is heating up at twice the rate of the rest of the country—a canary in our climate coal mine. A
new report shows that warming in Alaska, along with the rest of the Arctic, is accelerating as the loss of snow and ice cover begins to set off a feedback loop of further warming. Warming in wintertime has been the most dramatic—more than 6 degrees
in the past 50 years. And this is just a fraction of the warming
that’s expected to comeover just the next few decades.
