Description

Sunburn is a health issue in Antarctica, as almost all the ultraviolet light from the sun is reflected by the vast snow surface. Unfortunately, this is becoming more of an issue in other countries as well. Finland, one of the world’s northernmost countries, is the most sparsely populated country in the European Union. It’s probably due to the prevalent harsh weather conditions, especially in winter. Due to its location, Finland falls in the boreal zone, a region characterized by freezing winters and warm summers.

It’s as predictable as the sunrise – and everyone who understands the science knows it’s a bogus, reductive argument, one often presented in bad faith by people who know better. But it’s also hard to fault everyday people unfamiliar with climate science, the differences between climate and weather, and the less obvious impacts of the crisis for asking it too. On Brazil's Atlantic seaboard, far from the tourist trail, Bahia has deserted beaches, rainforests full of wildlife, cocoa farms, a surfers' town and several barefooty resorts that you'll never want to leave. Head to the small town of Itácaré for surfing, sailing, walking and birdwatching; to Trancoso for people-watching and beach-partying. Winter is almost here in the Northern Hemisphere. The hats and gloves are out, and the snow has begun to fall. For the most part, Italy has warm, dry summers and mild winters. But in the north, where the Alps are located, the climate is cold and wet. And in the far south, it's hot and dry.

What's unusual about this year is that Lake Erie has less than 1% ice coverage on its surface, due to unusually mild temperatures this winter. In a typical year, ice has covered about 62% of the lake by Feb. 27, according to the 1973-to-2019 average. This open water enhanced the temperature contrast between the surface and the colder air aloft, which supported intense lake-effect snow. On the matter of mild winters, well, that is the personal choice as well, choosing the best climate in world to live, where some people prefer more or less constant temperature throughout the year, while others like having all four seasons.

Cold early winter air flowing over still-relatively warm, unfrozen lake water has forever been the primary driver of the heavy lake-effect snows that blanket parts of the Great Lakes region most years. Some call this phenomenon the “lake-effect snow machine.” But the warming climate across the region is leading to even warmer lake temperatures and later and later freeze-up of the lakes. That’s revving up the “machine” and extending the length of time it may occur each year. A heart-warmer for the coming winter, . . . [and] we could do worse than choose Ms. Parker’s book for a wintry companion.” For people in some places on earth, however, living in temperatures below zero is just a way of life. Hot water thrown into the air freezes before it hits the ground is no big surprise. That’s just the way it has always been in these places. Some of the most coldest places in the world have places within them that are so cold that stepping out during winters can be quite dangerous. Cormac O Grada (2009). Famine: A Short History.
