    Tropical Pacific winds are picking up; sea-surface temperatures are dropping - and so is the global temperature.

    To kick off the discussion, I've posted this here story from the NYT concerning research that revolved around melt-water run-off in Greenland. Researchers found that the amount of run-off is not as high as previously thought, and offered this explanation: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    I'm pissed. At Park City and there's no snow at all.

    Only runs are man made snow on the beginner runs.

    It snowed - even in San Antonio.

    One of the "most extreme" snowfalls ever.

    A very warm 2016 winter followed up with snow in 2017.

    I thought this winter has been warm up until it snowed this week. Thanksgiving was warm.

    Why is a thread about the weather in the Debate forum?

    Same reason there's a debate about whether or not the earth is round. Oh wait.

    Mostly because the Rojo guy in years past likes to argue with people that like to point out that posting about local weather is trivial. That it is not analogous to global climate. Which then leads to frustration. Which then leads to arguments.

    I think Cohete's school semester is over and he's got extra free time to troll you guys.

    I imagine that school requires mittens to be pinned to jackets, so the kids don't lose them.

    Rojo you do understand that the atmosphere can hold more moisture the warmer it is right? Scientists have been saying for years heavy snowfall and rainfall events will increase as the earth warms.

    What exactly are you trying to accomplish by pointing out an extreme snowfall event in Alaska? Do you even understand how silly this looks?

    Here's a simple question for you. Is it colder when it's 30° f and snowing or 10° and sunny? You can think about that one for a bit before you answer.

    OP, like most climate change deniers, just proved he/she does not understand what global warming means.

    I was at the grocery store the other day. There was a lot of food on the shelves. World hunger is over.
