With the U.S. East Coast blanketed in snow once again, it’s hard to
imagine that climate scientists and environmentalists predicted years
ago that the “end of snow” was nigh and that the Arctic would soon be
“ice-free.”
The U.S. East Coast got pounded by yet another winter storm on Monday
that brought to temperatures to a 141-year record low in the
Baltimore-Washington, D.C. metro area. The rash of cold weather and
snowstorms have put environmentalists and climate scientists on the
defensive, as they explain that one exceptionally cold and snowy winter
does not disprove global warming.
New York Times writer Peter Fox took to the editorial pages to pen an op-ed called the “End of Snow” which argued that global warming meant that there could be no more snowy areas to hold future Winter Olympic games.
