So, what you are saying is that the climate on the globe is constantly changing...except for Eastern Washington where it there is no change taking place at all?
Really, that is the hill you want to die on?
As for what is really happening in
EASTERN WASHINGTON
Early effects of a warming Earth have reached Washington state, as we can see from actual measurements. Annual snowpack is declining in the mountains; ancient glaciers are shrinking; sea levels are rising; and coastal waters are becoming less hospitable to sea life. These are some of the changes...

Among the findings listed in the brief for Washington state:
- On average, spring snowpack has declined about 30 percent from 1955 to 2016.
- In the North Cascades, the total area occupied by glaciers has decreased more than 56 percent since 1900.
- At Friday Harbor in northern Puget Sound, sea level has risen more than 4 inches since 1934, with other amounts at other locations.
- Peak streamflow is coming earlier in the year — up to 20 days earlier in 2002 compared to 1948 in the most snow-dominated watersheds of Puget Sound.
- Coastal waters are warming — between 0.9 and 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit from 1990 to 2012 — while the Pacific Ocean and Puget Sound are shifting toward more acidic conditions with effects on a variety of species.
Oh, and I never said a word about CO2
