Written by Joe Wolverton, II In a sure sign that the Earth is, as predicted, warming to the point of human extinction, snowfall in the West has come sooner and heavier than in recorded history. Many school districts have already been forced to close by unseasonable accumulations of snow. "We got dumped on last night, you can see that by looking around here. We weren't quite ready for it. It did cause us some issues in the school district," said Lonnie Barber, the superintendent of schools for Blaine County Idaho. Idaho isn't alone in its reluctance to march into a fiery, iceless demise; in Colorado as well, the snow is falling fast and piling up quickly, to the delight of a state dependent for much of its income on the ski tourism trade. The ski resort at Loveland, Colorado, has opened already, the earliest start to a season in 40 years. It will be joined Friday by the resort at Arapahoe Basin. It seems the owners of ski resorts failed to recognize the climatological chaos that is causing the melting of snow and ice that is in turn setting off an avalanche of impending worldwide doom. Some people will do anything for a buck. Vegas. Sin City. You would expect them to join the party and they have. You've heard the slogan: "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas." Well, according to the local Fox News affiliate in Las Vegas, what's happening is snow and what's staying is hundreds of skiers getting a welcome early start on the season. The Las Vegas Ski and Snowboard Resort is open for business earlier than ever before and business is booming. Says the resort's Base Operations Manager Craig Baldwin, “There are many skiers and snowboarders who love to jib on our freestyle terrain features, and we expect many families to take advantage of this great opportunity to learn the sport and have fun so early in the season."Again, open rebellion against the stark realities of the inconvenient truth of global warming. Must we brook such insolence and brazen defiance of those Chicken Littles who are doing their best to warn us all of the toasty fate waiting for us just around the corner. While we wait for the alarming rise in global temperatures to melt the ice caps and swell the levels of the oceans, we might as well head out West and ski.

Global Warming phenomena does not mean that everywhere is about HELL FIRE&DAMNATION. That is just too amusing to consider. GW phenomena modifies local weather patterns in different ways based upon geography and so forth. I am afraid your article reinforces the idea that GW is a fact.
Sometimes global warming means global cooling and sometimes it means global warming? Is that it? So long as the myth is believed? Whatever works?
GW phenomena is all about the average Earth air temperature rising. And that rate is escalating pretty damned fast. It is rising faster than any time since life as we know it has existed.
That's prolly just your hormones, bucky. There's pills for that.
Really? What kind of pills are going to save me from CO2?
Are you just Googleing to impress me? C'mon wudidiz, you can find some authoritative research from a well known publication can't you?
OOPPSS! From NASA!
Looking at the graph it would certainly appear as though there's been a drastic temperature change in the last 100 years. However, it's only up less than 1 degree. IF (the) data is correct.
I doubt it is. Especially the last 10 years.

I could probably cut and paste a dozen credible links refuting that.
