“Here is an interesting quote: ‘Snows are less frequent and less deep. They often do not lie below the mountains more than one, two, or three days and very rarely a week. They are remembered to be formerly frequent, deep, and of long continuance. The elderly inform me that the earth used to be covered with snow about three months every year. The rivers, which then seldom failed to freeze over in the course of the winter, scarcely ever do now. This change … in the spring of the year is very fatal to fruits … I remember that when I was a small boy, say 60 years ago, snows were frequent and deep in every winter.’ Well, that’s it, isn’t it? Global warming is a reality. … the above quote is from Thomas Jefferson in the year 1799.” (01/14/25)
