Talked to one of the astronomers last night at a meeting on the watershed, there is - currently- no snow on Mauna Kea..... last snow was before the holidays.... so it looks very unlikely that the "snow in 50 states" will happen.... this year.... but.....
ETA - IPCC has NEVER used that term... that is all a media-hype term, has been for decades, nice to see some of our bunch are just learning the OLD terms! GWP's were discussed, but the concept was on the POTENTIALS....interesting to note that the ones that would seem most wary of media influence, have been under the media hype
(BTW - IPCC has been meeting for over 2 decades & took over a decade to be established.... for those of us from the "Whole Earth Catalog" days, you may remember the climate change & GWP's.... but many are babes compared to OF's like me!)
