Winter Season Gets Longer and Longer
We are experiencing a collapse of seasons, with Winter extending her reach further and further into Spring and Autumn, and even in certain rare events, into Summer. For centuries, we operated under a simple, comforting framework:
-
March to May: Spring
-
June to August: Summer
-
September to November: Autumn
-
December to February: Winter
Four perfect seasons, three months each, tidy as a classroom calendar. But Nature never signed that agreement. Winter often creeps in before summer ends and overstays deep into what we call “Spring.” The so-called “spring” of 2025 has begun with freezing rains, orchard-killing snows, and avalanche risks—not budding flowers. And now, a month into Spring, it is still Winter in more than a few places. And that is hurting agricultural production, which is just what we need.
So, eventually, we will be forced to officially extend the winter season, which will become paramount in the next decade as sunspot activity falls off a cliff. But we have already seen this year’s evidence that Winter refuses to leave. I want to say this will be my last cold climate change essay for this Winter, for it will warm up, and we will all be able to forget about the cold and all the money it takes to keep warm. But I would not bet on it. The only thing that makes sense of the global warming scam is that certain people make a lot of money from it.
