WaPo Falsely Claims Snow Decreasing, Affecting Michigan’s Dogsledding
A recent Washington Post article about dogsledding in Michigan claims that human-caused climate change has reduced the season for racing due to warmer temperatures and less snowpack. [bold, links added]
Data shows that there is no declining trend of snow cover across North America during the fall and winter seasons.
The article, ‘Climate change is causing Michigan dogsledders to shift gears from snow to dry land’, wrongly places the blame on anthropogenic (human-caused) climate change.
Washington Post writes:
“Richard Rood, a professor of climate science at the University of Michigan, said that principally because of man-made climate change, Michigan’s cold seasons are different now — and, in portions of southern parts of the state, winters are often wetter.
