As usual, Michael de Adder nails it. When you plan your travel, it's important to decide what type of ice you want. #BoycottTheUSA

Bar graph showing Northern Hemisphere snow cover anomalies for each April from 1967 to 2025. There is substantial yearly variability. Anomalies are computed relative to a 1981-2010 baseline.

Last month was statistically tied for the lowest April snow cover on record across the Northern Hemisphere. Springtime snow decline has consistently been an indicator of a warming cryosphere and results in changes to surface albedo properties.

We have been in China during the trade escalation and it is interesting to see how the US is portrayed in the news.

With current border policies, it is unethical to continue holding so many important science conferences in the US. In addition to moving conferences to safer international locations, US organizers must reorganize meetings around remote participation.

Let's hope this crazy 1970s idea of diverting water from the Yukon and Liard watersheds remains dead.
