From Zoe Phin’s blog:
Is anyone curious to know what the global snowfall trend was in this era of “extreme” global warming?
I was. Luckily NASA covertly provides us with all the necessary data to figure this out.
I downloaded all available monthly images from 1980 to 2020 (inclusive), such as the one shown above, then I converted the pixel colors back to data using the provided scale.
The error margin is small and time-persistent and so this is a clever way to extract a rich dataset which I haven’t been able to find anywhere else.
As far as I know, you will not see this anywhere else. All other snowfall or snow-cover datasets are limited by region or date and so researchers reach the wrong conclusion!
Snowfall has increased by nearly 3 percent over the last four decades!
Very smart lady and I subscribe to her blog. Does a great job crunching the government’s own data. If you are interested in the real climate data then I recommend following Zoe’s work.
It’s not you, It’s not CO2, It’s the sun!
A Grand Solar Minimum is coming get ready now.
