re: #56 Capitalist Tool

Now that we’re in this, what you just referenced to me seem to be saying the opposite thing… maybe I’m just thick… snow pack decreasing due to global warming/snowpack increasing due to global warming. I know that La Nina is regarded as the greatest mover/shaker in our weather patterns (North America) this year.

It’s a difference between short-term trends and long-term trends.

Short-term = lots of precipitation in the form of winter snow

Long-term = precipitation not enough to undo decades of melt/decline (in other words, all that excess snow isn’t going to last very long or stick around)
