>>2765170They do it all the time. Almost everything mainstream you hear about the climate is actually bullshit when you research deeper than surface level. Mother nature and the sun can shake us off at any time, or start a new ice age or a new warmer period (we're in a brief Roman warm period age right now).
>>2765112I wouldn't trust these forecasts all that much. They get it wrong routinely. They even get the daily forecast wrong and they alter data. I'm also in the warmer and hotter forecasted area, and they forecast it to be warmer and hotter every year. If you record local temps yourself and regional temps that even they publish themselves daily, you quickly notice their maps are bullshit. "Hottest ever", and the actual temps are normal or even lower than previous years. "Dry monsoon" and it rains daily and the hills and mountains are lush and alive with greenery and all the creeks and springs are flowing. I've even caught a local NWS office purposefully deleting a daily rainfall amount in excess of 0.10" and converting it to 0.0" multiple times even though I'll measure 0.15" of rainfall at my place and I watched the storm roll in over the entire area and rain for an hour and the gauge they manipulated is less than 3 miles from me and I know it got rainfall.
Another factor is that they only have so many thousands of single point stations and most of them are located in urban areas, and they do not even capture the general trend accurately for a massive area tens of thousands of square miles in size or larger. You'll also notice that some la nina winters with "less snowfall" actually get 150-200%+ long term normal snowfall, time and time again.
