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?
Daily Antarctic Sea Ice Area Anomaly
if your motive doesnt exist, then you have no reason to commit the crime... too bad that, even without global warming, peak oil is motive enough, isnt it?
Peak oil? LOL.
Peak oil? LOL. coyoteprime-runningcausei...o-real-shortage-ever.html freeenergynews.com/Directory/Theory/SustainableOil/ chemtrails
how come israelis and israeli americans and their exxon allies are acting as if peak oil was the real deal? i guess maybe this whole PNAC project could be about israel and israel only, huh? but then why would exxon join up with the israeli americans (see comments) unless the plan to secure israel had something to do with oil?
i guess maybe this whole PNAC project could be about israel and israel only, huh? but then why would exxon join up with the israeli americans (see comments) unless the plan to secure israel had something to do with oil? My point with oil being abiotic is that peak oil is a myth. So is global warming. Of course PNAC is about Israel and Israel only. More about money/power than oil I suppose. The lie is perpetuated for that purpose. "By way of deception."
please explain why oil companies are spending billions of dollars to drill 200 miles offshore, in 10,000 feet of water and 20,000 feet of dirt under that, to find oil that's a hundred miles from the nearest pipeline.
To get the oil?
It doesn't make sense that oil is made from fossils. It does make sense that there are remnants of fossils found in oil.
the exxon stockholders are gonna be plenty pissed off when they discover that their company is wasting billions of dollars drilling in such godawful places when they could be drilling for cheap abiotic oil in the outskirts of houston, arent they?
I doubt that many stockholders would believe that oil is abiotic. I'm not sure how you figure that because oil is abiotic that it is any cheaper. I'm not sure how you have concluded that because it's not made from fossils that it can be found anywhere else than it already is.
the main fact is, we're using the oil up faster than we're finding it, and it makes no difference how the oil was formed. sorry, but i'm gonna have to go for beer if you expect me to continue this idiocy...
Irrespective of how oil is formed .... are there methods to reduce human consumption?

sure there are... for instance, you can start wars to kill off millions, maybe billions of people who are potential consumers, or you can start wars to deprive potential consumers of access. or you could even try educating people about peak oil, maybe motivate them to cooperate in figuring out the most efficient use of the remaining oil. that last approach, though, kinda goes against the grain of the ruling psychopaths' philosophy.
