re: #39 Capitalist Tool

That just seems counter- intuitive to me.

Alouette explains it well:

Global warming—>polar icecap melt—>more moisture in the atmosphere—>more precipitation—>SNOW if it’s winter—>RAIN if it’s spring or summer.

Also see this:

The La Nia episode this year is an example with lots of snow in the north while severe drought afflicts the south. But, in the north, this year’s gains are only a small blip on a century-long snowpack decline.
