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.
Do you know what effect that has on local weather? How about the Arctic and Antartica? Do you understand these two large ice systems are breaking up? That same erosion is based on ice melting; that is a clear indicator that the temperatures are increasing.
LOL sorry the facts don't support that one.
So, Anarctica and the Arctic are increasing ice mass correct?
Antarctica for many years and the arctic over the last few years rapidly replacing the ice lost to wind according to NASA. Part of that ice loss was also due to faulty equipment giving open water readings where ice actually existed. You have to stop paying attention to the propaganda and start watching the real science.
You subscribe to "this" or "that" idea yet you didn't answer my question directly. Are these massive areas losing or gaining ice?
Gaining.
Can you find a reputable scientific link showing that the ice masses have been gaining over the past century or fifty years or even the last decade? And if you can, will you share it with me?
There is the rub isn't it? What is a reputable link since many recent studies have been shown to be fraudulent? I also have to take exception to the way you have things phrased. I don't like being baited. First you ask if it is increasing or decreasing. It is increasing. Then you qualify it with a time frame. It has decreased over all since the little ice age, the time frame you use. But this time frame wasn't included in your original question. You've moved the goal posts. I won't debate anyone who does that. Period.
it's no coincidence at all that the most vehement deniers of global warming just happen to be the is raeli americans of the AEI and their oil company allies, who see global warming as (a) a threat to israel, and (b) a threat to oil company profits. they have to deny global warming because global warming was their long-range reason for staging 9/11 to kick off their PNAC project.
You are misinformed and not seeing the bigger picture. The global elites and oil companies are actually on the AGW side not against it. Controlling supply and demand through carbon regulation will only increase oil profits. Follow the money.
Yes.
They are running their game like the quasi-monopoly they are. A monopoly always wants to sell you less and charge you more for it.
Sounds like all governments in the US: federal, state, county and local governments. But there are reasons: they need to pay the HUGE retirement and healthcare that they promised to bureaucrats. The promised money does nothing for the world around us today.
Does little for you and me either.
Actually, in a sense it does. Here is why: with dwindling natural resources and a climbing population base, the government may continue it rape and pillage of and about the taxpayer base. They have an excuse to expand government rule and so-called "services" so as to mask the complexity of the problems already created. You are looking into an abyss caused by government fraud, waste and outright tyranny. And what do you hear today? Sustained methodology approaches. It pours off the lips of every congress-critter that attempted to entertain their consitutents last Summer with the 0bamaCare plan. It is all about increasing government control over our lives. Still, the science is staring us in the face showing the real manifestations of over-population. We have let government control us to the point that even your personal trash bag is scrutinized for waste by-products that are illegal.

You confuse me. Are you saying there is an infinite supply of natural resources here on the planet? And are you also saying that as a result there can an infinite number of people using those same resources without any ramifications at all?
