The IPCC forecast declining winter snow cover and depth due to global warming, once again showing that they have absolutely no idea what they are talking about.

Milder winter temperatures will decrease heavy snowstorms

shrinking snow cover in winter
Three of the four snowiest winters in the Northern Hemisphere have occurred since 2008.

Record snowfall has occurred in recent weeks in South America, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand.
We have said all along….
This is another glorious example of our Dear Leader’s healing handprint on the capitalist-caused climate pandemic (CCCP).
The seas have begun to recede, the EAarth has begun to heal.
His boot is firmly planted on capitalism’s throat.
Is there nothing He can’t do?
Ah but we have a cunning plan. Tilt the wind turbine blades over to the horizontal, power them up with coal-fired power-stations and blow the snow back into the sky.
That’s just weather, not climate!

Of course there is the small matter that climate is just weather.
This is why I bought a Poulan snow thrower in April, I can read graphs and understand climate is cyclical.
But there is less snow cover in May than their used to be, a sure sign of impending doom.
Which is why we had record snow cover in May in the west.
