re: #25 Alouette
Simple to explain. The melting polar ice raises the level of the oceans, more moisture evaporates into the atmosphere, and more moisture comes back down to earth in the form of precipitation, which is SNOW during the winter, and torrential rain during the summer.
Yeah, simple when you have the ability to think analytically, not so simple to explain to people who look you square in the eye and defend glen beck because he “made a big difference in their lives”.
