Deforestation by local villagers = dryer air around the mountain = less percipitation on the mountain = less snow.
You are correct. That’s why I posted this article of course. The left has a lowest common denominator cycle that it uses to get the uneducated psyched up about global warming. Next month, it will be polar bears again. Then coral reefs. Then possibly frogs. Then honey bees. Then flooding in major population centers. By then we’ll be into the summer and we’ll have a hurricane we can blame on our own actions, hopefully followed by a devestating tsunami that somehow resulted from too many cow farts.
