Remember the days when we were told that snow would be a thing of the past?
No longer. Now global warming causes harsher, colder, snowier winters.
Global warming can cause anything, even contradictory things.
TRENTON, N.J. – Public officials were on the defensive Friday after the season’s first, surprisingly strong snowstorm stranded thousands of motorists for hours and forced some students to stay overnight in their schools.
New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy said “lousy” forecasts were partly to blame. He took a pounding on social media from people complaining about his handling of Thursday’s storm, including one of his highest-profile constituents. Former Republican Gov. Chris Christie tweeted at Murphy that it took him nearly six hours to travel roughly 30 miles . Murphy didn’t respond directly to his predecessor.
“Clearly we could have done better and we will do better,” Murphy said.
