Skeeter, I've lived in Seattle since 1979 and western Washington since 1971. This year we had some good snow. But the trend of the past 30+ years is less snow. The first two years I lived here were doozies for snow. And 100+ years ago, the snow dwarfed anything seen any time since. Micro climate changes are inevitable with the planet warming, OR cooling. Trying to extrapolate Seattle to the planet is simply misguided and scientifically inappropriate. But whatever... carbon is perhaps 30% higher than anytime in the past 1/3 to 1/2 million years. Does that mean we should do anything about it? Probably NOT, beyond trying to stretch what little fossil fuel we have left by increasing efficiencies across the board. But for anything else, chances are whatever hair-brained scheme Man hatches will backfire anyway.
