Winter generally supports less life than the warmer seasons. In colder parts of the world, it is a season to be survived. Surely, if winters were shorter and milder, there would be some benefits, no?
- infinite8s 10y agoWhat makes you think winters will be milder? Researchers believe that climate change will lead to more massive winter storms in areas that before had mild winters. https://thinkprogress.org/why-big-blizzards-in-winter-dont-disprove-global-warming-9fdd41e71f0b#.8lod72y6n https://thinkprogress.org/why-big-blizzards-in-winter-dont-d...
- toasterlovin 10y agoPerhaps I'm using the wrong word, but by milder winters, I meant warmer winters. The article you link to points out how increased moisture in the atmosphere will lead to more extreme snow storms in below-freezing areas, but acknowledges that winters will be warmer in general (just not enough warmer to get those below-freezing areas above freezing, which would result in rainstorms instead or snow storms).
