New study links snow cover to Eurasian cooling, challenging climate models and “global warming” narrative

A new peer-reviewed study has revealed that autumn temperatures across central Eurasia have been cooling over the past two decades—despite global warming predictions—and attributes a significant portion of that cooling to increased snow cover.

Contrary to the prevailing narrative that snow is in decline worldwide, the study found autumn snow cover in central Eurasia has actually risen by 5.38% per decade since 2004. This shift alone accounts for roughly 21.5% of the regional cooling, as more snow reflects sunlight and reduces shortwave radiation reaching the ground.

Climate researcher and author Javier Vinos, who has been critical of mainstream “climate science”, responded by pointing out that these findings directly contradict long-standing climate model forecasts.

“Central Eurasia is larger than Europe, and yet its increased snow and colder temperatures were not predicted by the models,” he said. “This shows scientists still don’t fully understand what drives climate change.”

The study’s authors present the findings as advancing the understanding of feedback mechanisms in the climate system, but sceptics like Vinos argue it underscores just how uncertain climate science remains—particularly when real-world data doesn’t align with model projections. He suggests that such discrepancies should encourage broader scrutiny of the assumptions behind “global warming” claims and climate policy.

Central Eurasia, an area larger than Europe, has experienced increased snowfall and colder winters over the past 2 decades. These changes were not predicted by models, which offer different explanations; therefore, scientists don’t know why it’s happening.https://t.co/IDZ36093p2 pic.twitter.com/a0ZHZbS8uf
