USA Today Links Record Snow to AGW: ‘Boston’s snowy winter could point to weather patterns affected by global warming’
"The environment in which all storms form is now different than it was just 30 or 40 years ago because of global warming," said Kevin Trenberth, a senior scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo...
In the future, due to climate change, snowfalls will increase because the atmosphere can hold 4% more moisture for every 1-degree increase in temperature, Trenberth said. As long as temperatures stay just below freezing, the result is more snow — rather than rain, Johnson said.\
Climatologist Dr. Roger Pielke Sr. rebuts claims: 'The New England snowstorms are due to a very strong horizontal temperature gradient, NOT any increase in water vapor.'Indeed, global water vapor is not increasing.'
