Snow algae bloom in red on ice and snow and thereby darken the surface. This accelerates the thawing of ice (photo: Liane G. Benning, GFZ).

It’s nothing new. The sky is not falling.
Where are the SUVs from 1818?
GFZ scientists investigate the snow algae to get more information on the diversity of these micro organisms (photo: Stefanie Lutz, GFZ).
And how much grant money did they get for the NEW study.
Looks like a hydraulic fluid leak.
I have a hard time believing that they thought the pink snow was from iron deposits. In fact, it’s stupid.
Just be sure that you don’t eat the yellow snow.
Note that they found one isolated place where the snow was pink to extrapolate out massive consequences here.
Perhaps we should do the same for yellow snow.
Note the white snow to the left. Someone should offer up better pictures to buttress their outlandish claims.

I live in Sacramento, CA.
Notice something about that list of the hottest days ever?
If “global warming” is real and every recent year has been
declared as the “hottest year ever”, then why are all the
record temperature days for Sacramento in the 1900’s?
You would think that 16 years into the 2000’s at least one
or two of the record days would be in recent years, IF GLOBAL WARMING WERE REAL. It’s not.
Is it just me or if this ‘pink snow’ has historically been confined to areas such as the arctic, but is now found elsewhere would that not indicate global cooling?
I guess they are arguing that ice caps are melting and spreading it. I don’t buy it. If it only survived previously there’s a reason it only existed in the coldest, highest elevation places on earth.
The warmer the snow, the more snow sharks there are.
It took eons for the swampy earth to become less steamy and more varied; eons more and my personal theory is some natural catastrophic event put the earth off her axis just a tad...a bit more tilt away from the sun...causing winter to linger causing even more cold weather in more places and so on...enjoy the pink ice, it will be there for some time.
Now “snow thrives” as if it was vegetation instead of the “algae that makes it pink thrive...”
I hate amateur science writers.
Also, this is an old article so it might have been plagiarized from an earlier publication.
I also hate dishonest writers.
Run in circles! Scream and shout!
EXACTLY!
This is how I implement my evil-scientist plan to destroy the planet!
Pic below of me implanting and culturing colonies of Chlamydomonas nivalis in the arctic...
BWAH! HAH! HAH! HAH! HAH! HAAAAH!!!!
Cue the “not this $*it again” picture.
So globull warming has been going on now for almost 200 years, we're doomed!!!
