yeah, I think people who have lived in one place long enough and are aware of what's happening in the environment around them will more easily see the effects of climate change. for me it's not snow, but rather increasingly hot summers. i live in Olympia, WA and for years we have been hitting 90 several days a year, which seems to be increasing. at the end of June 2021, we shattered our all time record high, reaching 110 F. the old record was 104. by comparison our summer average is 82. I also do recall a recent winter where we hit 70 F in December. the changes, at least in my region, are very noticeable. anyone who denies climate change doesn't have their eyes open.
@Shitstermcdix2 жыл бұрын
I'm in my 20s and even I have noticed a decrease of the frequency of snowfalls in winter, and I live in the Midwest with all 4 seasons. Sometimes it feels as if spring and fall are non-existent, it just rapidly changes from really hot late summer high 80's°F degree days that then drop 30 to 40 degrees within a week or two of transition time. I used to remember the seasons feeling way more distinctive in general to me

It's not just the amount of snow. The discussion at the end of Peter's section about snowpack misses one thing about global warming. Eastern Washington is a heavy farming area that uses the snowmelt for growing. Regardless of the amount of the pack, it's now melting much faster because of global warming, causing drought conditions that are harming food production.

No, because is impossible for a snowflake to take the same path as another one, and also having the exact condition all the way on it's path, second by second.

It’s the opposite. By definition fractals represent random variation that is so high as to render an element unique, but based on an underlying rule from which a pattern occurs. It’s not just snowflakes. No two cells in a head of cauliflower are the same on a microscopic level yet they grow together in a recognizable configuration. Fractals would be a great Explainer episode.
