We need to check in with old Porter...

Actually, I just found that Old Porter won't give up...

The Last Winter: The Scientists, Adventurers, Journeymen, and Mavericks Trying to Save the World Hardcover, November 2, 2021, by Porter Fox (Author)

As the planet warms, winter is shrinking. In the last fifty years, the Northern Hemisphere lost a million square miles of spring snowpack and in the US alone, snow cover has been reduced by 15-30%. On average, winter has shrunk by a month in most northern latitudes.

In this deeply researched, beautifully written, and adventure-filled book, journalist Porter Fox travels along the edge of the Northern Hemisphere's snow line to track the scope of this drastic change, and how it will literally change everything—from rapid sea level rise, to fresh water scarcity for two billion people, to massive greenhouse gas emissions from thawing permafrost, and a half dozen climate tipping points that could very well spell the end of our world.

This original research is animated by four harrowing and illuminating journeys—each grounded by interviews with idiosyncratic, charismatic experts in their respective fields and Fox's own narrative of growing up on a remote island in Northern Maine.

Timely, atmospheric, and expertly investigated, The Last Winter will showcase a shocking and unexpected casualty of climate change—that may well set off its own unstoppable warming cycle.

I always have to resist the urge to harp on weather as climate (as opposed to the reality of “Climate is what you expect, Weather is what you get”) but then, I think...they look at every time the thermometer goes above 85 degrees that it is proof of “Global Warming”, so I feel the need to throw that back at them as fair play.

Of course, those jackasses have determined that everything, everywhere, all the time, is due to “Global Warming”, even increased sea ice, growing glaciers, blizzards, and extreme cold.

That, and 85 degree days.
