Will it ever end? It’s still January, but everyone everywhere is tired of the seemingly endless snow. The climate has changed so a situation of frequent storms is now life as we know it. We should embrace the snow and learn to love it instead because what choice do we have?

Watching a news show this morning, they wearily said, “You won’t believe this but another significant snow storm is headed our way. . . .”   Here’s a message for the news media: If you are tired of the snow, and tired of telling people about the snow, then why didn’t you report the truth about climate change when you were first aware of it?  Maybe something could have been done, 20 years ago.   Instead, the news media presented everything as an uncertainty, or a debate, and pretended global warming might be “nothing” as equally as it might be “something” to worry about. Well, now we know it’s “something” for sure, and there is no real debate about that. There are not two opposing sides to the issue of climate change. Yet the news media pretended for years that there was, and now they have to report on a new storm every other day. That will be the repetitive nature of their job from now on, and it will be partially their own fault for not presenting the science long ago.

Why are we getting so much snow?  No, it’s not another “ice age”.  Our freezer is melting.  See the story below for why this is.

Arctic Defrost Dumping Snow on U.S. and Europe

by Stephen Leahy

UXBRIDGE, Canada – The world’s northern freezer is on rapid defrost as large volumes of warm water are pouring into the Arctic Ocean, speeding the melt of sea ice, according to a new study.

The world’s northern freezer is on rapid defrost as large volumes of warm water are pouring into the Arctic Ocean, speeding the melt of sea ice, according to a new study.   Surface temperatures in parts of the Arctic have been 21 degrees C above normal for more than a month in recent weeks.

“Boats were still in the water during the first week of January,” said David Phillips, a senior climatologist with Environment Canada, referring to southern Baffin Island, some 2,000 km north of Montreal. This is a region that receives just four or five hours of weak sunlight during the long winter. Temperatures normally range from -25 to -35 degrees C but were above zero on some days in January.

“It’s impossible for many people in parts of the eastern Arctic to safely get on the ice to hunt much-needed food for their families – for the second winter in a row,” Phillips said in a report.

The warming and melting of the Arctic is happening much faster than expected and new data reveals that huge volumes of warmer water from the North Atlantic are now flowing into and warming up the [...]
