Climate change can actually bring increased levels of precipitation in some places. Climate and weather are two very different things and the latter depends on a whole complicated spectrum of factors. It's not necessarily "world getting warmer = less snow." Some areas will actually get more at some points if the conditions line up.

...huh? How do you think police "bonuses" and compensation work? They don't get paid more money for writing more parking tickets...

Most officers are lucky to get a desk toy and a $20 gift card for Christmas as a "bonus." Bonuses generally come either as a sign-on bonus to attract new officers (something we desperately need as incentive since the media demonizes cops and makes it unappealing) or for completing certifications. LAPD for example gives you a bonus for being a Spanish speaker. You can earn a bonus by being marksman certified or bomb squad or having another unique skill.

You're just regurgitating ACAB rhetoric because it aligns with the zeitgeist we're in right now.

Know what makes way more money than sporadic parking tickets? Safe neighborhoods. Businesses don't move into or operate in places with high crime.

There's 100% an economic incentive to solving murders, if you want to be a cynic and focus purely on the finances of it. There's also that whole, you know, justice thing.
