More than half the U.S. is covered with snow this November, the most in ten years.
More than half the U.S. is covered with snow this November, the most in ten years.
The certainty of climate scientists:
Kevin Trenberth, of the National Center for Atmospheric Research, agreed the surprising amount of snowfall is a separate issue from climate change. “If you warm up the atmosphere, you can actually get heavier snowfalls in winter,” Trenberth said. “That’s one of the ironic things about global warming. Maybe we can say that without climate change, it would be colder still. [emphasis mine]
In other words, according to Trenberth the increased snow cover and cold temperatures are evidence of global warming.
Readers!
Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. Your support allows me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Only now does it appear that Washington might finally recognize this reality.
In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.
You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:
1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.
2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.

Dumb-a** bureaucrat. I hope he gets frostbite from global warming.
Devil’s Advocate ( let me be for a moment here ) :
Please know I don’t believe in this man made global warming nonsense. Rising CO2 levels will NOT have a measurable effect on global temperatures. I can prove this ( too much to state here ) but we can summerize by pointing out that H2O i.e. clouds, water vapor, has a MUCH greater ability to retain heat.
The only drawback to rising CO2 levels is – and many people don’t know this – that it is inversely proportional to O2 levels. The O2 that’s in CO2 mostly comes from cumbustion ( including the natural biological process of respiration which is a form of combustion ).
Simply stated, as CO2 rises, O2 falls. But this is not a sufficient reason to support any of the ridiculous measures proposed by the left.
Increased snowfall amounts cannot support global cooling either. ALL snow comes from water that EVAPORATED from somewhere. And as we all know, evaporation requires heat.
So we cannot definitively argue this either way based solely on snowfall data.
But as Robert Zimmerman has correctly pointed out, global temperatures have remained steady for the last 15 years.
Sadly, Trenberth is not a bureaucrat. He is a scientist with numerous published peer-reviewed papers on climate.
With unexplained logic as presented by our esteemed scientist, Trenberth, that climate is counterintutive (warming is indicated by the increased cold weather) it is little wonder that people are leaving the global warming religion. A lot of the peer reviewed papers from climatologists have failed to predict the steady temperatures of the past 15 years, so there must be some factor other than CO2 that drives global temperatures.
The problem is less that there is more snow and more that there is more cold around the world. Even Egypt was cold enough for snow.
Just as with the winter of 2010, when there was heavy snow in New York and the “warmists” took seriously the teasing from the “deniers,” we are again arguing about the weather as though it is a gauge for change in climate.
On the other hand, *this* “Chicken Little” is declaring that all this cold weather so far south is proof that the next ice age has started.
Oh, wait. The temperature in my part of the country has warmed up this week, so I am changing my belief to global warming (it warmed up this past week, QED) and now agree with Trenberth.
