Seriously?
Snow is NOT temperature, it is precipitation. As the atmosphere warms, it can hold more water vapor. More water vapor means more precipitation.
It can snow at 30 degrees, and it can snow at 0 degrees. More snow doesn't mean the air is colder, it just means more water vapor is in the air. If your average winter temperature was 10 degrees, and your average winter precipitation is 12" of snow, then you get a winter when your average temperature is 25 degrees and your snowfall is 48", did it snow more because it was colder?

So I thought all along the leftists were were saying that arctic ice melting and sea levels rising was a bad thing. Now you are saying arctic ice accumulation and lower sea rise levels are bad? And that both are caused by the same thing? That's what I'm confused about.

It falls into the same bucket of obvious as does the fact glaciers tend not to melt at subfreezing Antarctic temperatures.
In other words, the BS about Antarctic glaciers melting into the sea is dubious
Right?
