So My Favirite Wingnut sends another weather story-- [View all]

this time about Anchorage having experienced its longest snow season on record, with comments about the GW "scam." My reply:


Don't you get it?
1) Snow results from moisture freezing in the air. The Right-Wing myth that it is brought by the Snow Bunny is untrue.
2) There is more moisture in the air because of the melting of the glaciers, ice caps, etc.
3) Extremely cold air holds little moisture, so it doesn't snow much when it's really cold.
4) Therefore the snow in Alaska is produced by extra moisture due to melting "old ice" & warmer weather that allows the air to carry more water vapor.
5) Thus this weather pattern is a confirmation of Climate Change predictions
