The Guardian Peddles Climate Doom Over Mild Midwest Winter, Ignores Natural Causes
A recent article in The Guardian, “Vanishing ice and snow: record warm winter wreaks havoc across US Midwest,” describes the very mild winter much of the American Midwest has experienced this year, claiming that it is due to climate change.
While a declining trend towards less severe winters may in part reflect modest warming, the intensity of this winter’s warmth is more likely explained by El Niño. [emphasis, links added]
The Guardian asserts that ice cover across the Great Lakes has been declining since the early 1970s, writing that while the historic average for mid-February is around 40%, “this year it was about 4%.”
