Snow falls in the Sahara desert for the first time in 37 years

In what has to be a painful holiday gift to global warming alarmists, snow fell in the Sahara Desert — one of the warmest places on the planet — Monday for the first time since the late 70s. CNN reported:

The Algerian town of Ain Sefra, deep in the dry, hot Sahara desert was hit by a freak snowfall on December 19...

...The last time flakes are reported to have fallen here was when a brief blizzard hit town in February 1979.

Proponents of global warming — which became "climate change" several years back when the warming trend stopped — insist that the earth is warming due to man-made pollution that affects the earth's atmosphere and traps "greenhouse" gases inside the earth's oxygen layer. The Environmental Protection Agency holds fast to their assertion that global warming is a dire and very real situation and calls humans "largely responsible":

The evidence is clear. Rising global temperatures have been accompanied by changes in weather and climate. Many places have seen changes in rainfall, resulting in more floods, droughts, or intense rain, as well as more frequent and severe heat waves.

The planet's oceans and glaciers have also experienced some big changes — oceans are warming and becoming more acidic, ice caps are melting, and sea levels are rising. As these and other changes become more pronounced in the coming decades, they will likely present challenges to our society and our environment.

Unfortunately, the cure to what is at best changing science is often worse than the disease — or what Space.com calls, "a complex problem with potentially dire consequences":

For decades, scientists have theorized that pumping aerosols into the stratosphere could counteract the warming effects of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. It sounds crazy, right? How could pumping more pollution into the air fix a pollution problem?

Fortunately, President-elect Donald Trump has nominated someone to head the EPA that has a healthy skepticism for the "accepted" science that the Earth is warming and it's all man's fault.

And thank goodness, too. Because it snowed in the Sahara Desert Monday.
