Remember last year when snow was going away?
The End of Snow – New York Times
That was last year.

I’ve been tracking ‘End of Snow’ predictions for quite a while now. Especially at the Times.
Last year, the New York Times predicted the end of snow. This week, its employees had trouble getting to work because of a travel ban caused by the blizzard.
A week after warning of the end of snow, the New York Times was instead forced to report on “downed power lines, stranded travelers, abandoned vehicles and yet another mess of snow, slush and ice.”
This really has been around for a while.
The snow deniers have been around for a while. Fifteen years ago (2000), Dr. David Viner, a senior research scientist at the University of East Anglia, the hub of Warmism, said that within a few years winter snowfall will become “a very rare and exciting event”. “Children just aren’t going to know what snow is,” he said.
But every time the false prophets of warmunism predict a future of global warming, they are swiftly mocked.
“This Warm Winter, Austinites Can Look Out Their Windows And See Climate Change,” a headline from Austin’s NPR station read last February.
“Experts say, people should get used to such sights,” the article suggested. It might be a little harder to see those sights from the record-setting snowstorm that just buried Austin.
“A Warmer Austin: The Future is Here,” a high-profile story from the Austin-American Statesman declared last February. A Sierra Club organizer pushing green energy warned that “warmer winters” would have a “disproportionate effect” on “low-income people of color.”
Now, “low-income people of color” are dying of carbon monoxide poisoning because of a green energy grid with windmills that don’t turn, solar panels that don’t work under snow, and battery power which holds its charge in freezing temperatures about as well as your phone does.
Defying expectations and experts, Austin recorded its lowest temperature in 33 years and its deepest snowfall in 55 years.
Here’s 2022.
Vail, Colorado concluded its skiing season on May 1 a year after the Denver Post warned that “climate change is shrinking the Colorado ski season”.
It’s almost as if some higher power has made a point of mocking doomsday predictions by climate pagans who think the weather can be changed by raising taxes and driving Teslas.
A week after Vail Mountain announced that it was extending its skiing season for “the longest continuous season in Vail Mountain history” just after 9 inches of snow fell in early March, a local news station wondered, “With warmer winters, what will happen to the ski industry?”
It may have to extend to June.
In February 2022, Denver broke weather records to hit the coldest temperature in 109 years. At a balmy -7 degrees, the latest outbreak of global warming plunged the city down to a low that had not been seen since 1899.
2023.
Two years after the Los Angeles Times predicted the end of snow in California, I stood outside in a hailstorm as my daughter giggled and tasted the little pieces of ice falling on her pink jacket.
We were not up north, but in Los Angeles where colorful trumpet vines drape across walls all through the winter and jackets normally might as well be fossils. But on Friday, snow had fallen on the Hollywood sign and dusted homes in the Hollywood Hills.
“A ‘no snow’ California could come sooner than you think,” the Los Angeles Times warned in 2021. That fall, it reported that, “Tahoe ski resort opens early after massive snowstorm.”
2025.

Will this scourge of global warming never cease?
This is the second time it’s snowed in Florida recently. It snowed at the end of January, or maybe it was the beginning of this month, I don’t remember.
The Diablo Mountains on the east side of San Jose are snow covered here every Winter and often in Autumn, and the highest point is only 5,240 ft high. Mt Hamilton there is 4,265 ft and Lick Observatory has been up there since 1887 as the first permanently occupied mountaintop observatory. They added two more telescopes after the original. The view of the snow and the Santa Clara valley from there in the Winter is beautiful. You can even see the tall buildings in San Jose. I’m sure NYT reporters would hate it there. But hey, next year is the year. We’re all going to burn up from global climate warming change for sure. The Sierra Club and Greenpeace said so and they’re every bit as accurate as the NYT..
Interestingly, the building that houses the living quarters has Stars of David carved into the tops of the stone walls.
Who is Dinesh? What article are you commenting on? Are you hallucinating, whack-job?
You’re lost. Give somebody your car keys before you do something dangerous.
“What’s the frequency, Kenneth?”
No surprise. We’re at solar max, and the folks into this sort of thing are well aware of how quiet the sun is. We might as well be at solar min.
We don’t know why, but the best current theory is Svenmark’s. When the sun is quiescent, cosmic rays increase, which increases the lower altitude clouds and lowers the planet’s albedo.
This means colder weather and variations in the jet stream.
This does not explain where the water comes from, but most of the wonks suggest the Tonga Hunga volcanic explosion in Jan 2022, which went largely unnoticed due to its south pacific location, but blew insane levels of water into the atmosphere.
We here in Siskiyou County had a big snowstorm here yesterday had Power Failure this Morning so where are those idiots who said it was never suppose to snow again?
Probably trying to stay warm somewhere.
President Trump is a real man? He’s THE man.
And CO2 doesn’t heat air. Hotter temperatures precede CO2 build up, they don’t precede them. Cause and effect not effect and cause.
CO2 traps heat in the atmosphere, which is why there’s life on Earth but not Venus and Mars. Venus traps too much heat and supposedly has a surface temperature equivalent to molten lead (which I don’t believe) and Mars doesn’t trap enough and is a desert planet with an atmosphere too thin to support life except maybe some bacteria – which haven’t been discovered if they even exist.
Carbon? All life on Earth is carbon based. Plants, particularly the trees we all live, depend on carbon for cellular growth. They extract the carbon from CO2 and expel the oxygen for fauna to breath, which includes us. One atom of carbon for the plants and two atoms of oxygen for us in every molecule. That’s a good arrangement.
The Ice ages had far more CO2 in the air than there is now, up to over ten times more.
Warming periods in Earths history are called “climate optima.” The Minoan, Roman and Medieval warming periods which had optimal temperatures allowed for agriculture, grand architecture and human achievement to flourish like never before, along with the natural world.
Global climate warming change is the most destructive hoax in human history. The polar holes in the ozone layer, acid rain, fire ants and killer bees that were supposed to kill us all are a joke compared to the hysterics of the warmunist liars and dupes.
And CO2 doesn’t heat air. Hotter temperatures SUCCEED CO2 build up, they don’t precede them.
Spell check strikes yet again.
You care because the whole civilized and semi civilized world benefits from the ascent of Trump. So do the world’s shit-holes, for that matter. Trump Uber alles.
No point in arguing with him or her as none of them appears ready to discuss anything. They just take cheap shots and revel in their supposed superiority. The truth is green energy is a major polluter, from solar panels and flat screen devices to wind turbines to EVs.
If they would only read, they would know.
Dinesh needs to understand that people do not need to know or care what solidarity he thinks is helpful.
You can be standing in a blizzard in 2 feet of snow and one of these climate change idiots will argue with you that it doesn’t snow anymore. Things I’ve heard since I was 4 years old:
“Strange weather we’re having.”
“The ponds froze early this year.”
“I can’t believe the ponds aren’t frozen yet.”
“40 degrees one day, 70 degrees the next, what the heck?”
“It doesn’t snow as much as it used to.”
“I’m tired of shoveling all this snow.”
“It’s hotter than normal.”
“it’s been colder than normal.”
“The weather patterns are changing.”
“It didn’t used to be like this.”
But it did, it was always like this.
There is no “climate crisis”. We are experiencing a weaponization of common weather and cyclic climate events in the phony climate war.
The New York Slimes has been Fake News since 1932 when they covered up for Stalin so why should anyone bother to read this leftists propaganda rag anymore
Here’s all you need to know about climate change:
When the temp rises above normal, it’s because of climate change.
When the temp plummets below normal, it’s because of climate change.
When the temp remains static, it’s because of climate change.
That, friends and neighbors, is indisputable science.
I’m sorry but in the new world order you are not allowed to observe reality and say what you see. It’s a hate crime. We all must bow down to the (fake) Climate crisis.
“Disproportionate effect” on “low income people of color.” Anyone besides me remember the joke about how different newspapers handled the news that the world was coming to an end? The Wall Street Journal said STOCK MARKET CLOSES EARLY. The Racing Form said ALL BETS OFF. The Los Angeles Times said NO TRAFFIC ON FREEWAY TONIGHT. The Amsterdam News said REAL ESTATE VALUES IN HARLEM PLUMMET.
What is causing people to die of carbon monoxide poisoning? Where is it coming from?
