yes the climate does change

the claim is earth's (the whole thing) temperature is increasing & the planet (the whole thing) is warming. increasing temperature & warming don't equal snow

i'm happy to entertain bullshit but i don't have to accept it. if it's really not that hard to grasp can you show me the process you used or somewhere i can go to test, so i can verify for myself, to create snow by increasing the temperature & warming the area. i'll wait


Increasing temperature and warming actually are the perfect recipe for snow. Too cold and you don't get snow. Global warming equals an atmosphere that holds more water vapor, deeper low pressures and more full on winds and storms which in the winter leads to snowstorms. The jet stream ends up bringing aortic winds south along with hurricanes, floods etc. The arctic is warming at a faster rate than the rest of the planet weakening the polar vortex which distorts in such a way that you get sudden bursts of extreme weather like the recent snow.

This is the problem with you being so terrified and arrogant that you can't accept the idea of anyone else having expertise in subjects you don't. I am no meteorologist but there are enough of them and enough other scientific experts around that their own self regulation and embracing of scientific principles means I don't have to entertain the childish idea of having to verify every fact for myself or carry out experiments when I do not even have a tenth of their knowledge.

You probably have very little direct experience of snow but in Europe, as moderate as it is, we all know that in the Alps or the Scottish Highlands etc, it can often be too cold to snow, but just a few degrees rise in temperature the next day will mean heavy snowfall. So we know increase warming and a rise in temperature actually does equal snow.

Just because you live in a bubble, that does not mean we have discount our real world verifiable experience in order to protect your daft superstitious beliefs.
