"Roughly three quarters of the locations in the West have posted decreases [in spring snow water equivalent since 1950], and California is no exception...very large decreases in the spring snowpack, you know, complete loss in many areas [by 2070 based on RCP 4.5]."
- Philip Mote, Oregon State University and the Oregon Department of Ocean, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences
Man-made climate change is real, and the most urgent, known threat to our civilization. Mountains of scientific evidence say as much, and I have never seen a convincing argument to the contrary. Not one. What makes me an authority? Nothing. I'm just an average Joe without an advanced degree (BS Comp. Sci.). However, here's what distinguishes me from denier trolls: I trust and understand scientific consensus. That's my big secret ;). G'head, trolls, try to prove me wrong. And good luck.
