Snow in the U.P. in May!!!! How do you explain that Global Warming People....
I'm not a "global warming people", but the explanation is quite simple, actually. Total area of the earth is 510,072,000 km2
Total area of the UP is 42,610 km2
Therefore, the UP represents .00835% of the earth's surface.
The overall impact of 1 day in 8 /1000th of the earth's surface on long term temperature trends is absolutely inconsequential.
BTW, the global warming discussion is not THAT the earth is warming, it is. That's why the ice caps are melting. The global discussion is WHY the earth is warming.
