Study Reveals the High Vulnerability of European Ski Resorts to Global Warming A new European study has investigated the effects of climate change on European ski resorts and warns that global warming will leave 53% of Europe’s ski resorts at very high risk for snow supply in the future. If temperatures increase by 1.5°C, around a third (32%) of European ski resorts would be severely impacted. This proportion could be limited to […] Industry News Julia Schneemann | September 17, 2023 0 Comments
NOAA: Where Does Global Warming Go During La Niña? Here at the ENSO blog, we’ve been talking about La Niña (the cool phase of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation climate pattern) for going on three years now. People have started to tell us they’re bored ask us whether all these La Niñas could offset global warming.The short answer is no, La Niña is no match for global warming. (Footnote 1) […] Weather SnowBrains | November 9, 2022 0 Comments
Study Shows Refreezing the Poles is Highly Practical and Could Reverse Global Warming The north and south poles are critical to the planet’s climate. The mass amount of ice in both regions acts as the earth’s refrigerators to cool it. It is no secret that the ice is diminishing and threatening our planet. Some experts estimate that the Arctic is warming up to four times faster than the rest of the planet. This […] Weather Brent Thomas | September 18, 2022 3 Comments
NOAA: Which Mountain Snowpacks are Most Vulnerable to Global Warming? This article was originally published by Alison Stevens on Climate.gov on March 22, 2021 As Earth heats up thanks to human-caused climate change, scientists expect that winter snowpacks will melt increasingly earlier in the spring. According to a new NOAA-funded study, these impacts are already underway, but global warming isn’t impacting every region equally. While snowpack in some regions has been […] SnowBrains | June 15, 2021 0 Comments

Understanding Climate Change vs. Global Warming Climate change and global warming are different physical phenomenons, not just phrases. A common misconception is that there has been a large push to replace the term ‘global warming’ with ‘climate change.’ Many people think that because several places on Earth have experienced more cold and wet weather, that the Earth stopped warming as much and thus ‘global warming’ has […] Weather Sydney Stephens | August 7, 2019 0 Comments
