NY Times: “Winter as we know it is on borrowed time" (according to a doctoral candidate in earth science at the University of New Hampshire)

Warming Slopes, Shriveled Revenues - NYTimes.com
Projections by climate scientists indicate that winter temperatures could rise by anywhere from 4 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit by the end of the century, and the length of the snow season in the Northeast could be cut in half.

“Winter as we know it is on borrowed time,” said Elizabeth Burakowski, a co-author of the report with Matt Magnusson. Both are doctoral candidates in earth science at the University of New Hampshire.

One year you have wet warm heavy snow, the next you have bitter cold light snow. These are normal cycles. What's amazing is the NYTimes doesn't realize these professors only get noticed when they make outrageous predictions. You need to know what Natural Variations are and be less gullible.
