...The projected snow loss, a result of climate change, could get even
worse by the end of the 21st century, depending on how the world
reacts. Sustained action to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions could
keep annual average snowfall levels steady after mid-century, but if
emissions continue unabated, the study predicts that snowfall in
Southern California mountains will be two-thirds less by the year 2100
than it was in the years leading up to 2000. "Climate change has become inevitable, and we're going to lose a
substantial amount of snow by midcentury," said (Alex) Hall, a professor in
UCLA's Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences and UCLA's
Institute of the Environment and Sustainability. "But our choices
matter. By the end of the century, there will be stark differences in
how much snowfall remains, depending on whether we begin to mitigate
greenhouse gas emissions."...
That's the way it is, deer:
