The stupidity and ignorance of alarmists seems to know no bounds.
Global warming: Sea levels could rise for centuries to come
Strong warning on climate threshold from University of Arizona researchers
By Summit Voice
SUMMIT COUNTY — Ice sheets in the Arctic and Antarctic will probably keep melting, and sea levels will keep rising for a long time — even if greenhouse gas emissions are curbed in the near future, according to a University of Arizona-led team of researchers who studied the history of rising sea levels during the last interglacial period.
During interglacials, sea level rises. Chicago is no longer buried under a mile of ice. Can I have my grant money?

Maybe “..could rise for centuries to come” is some kind of in-joke. Either that, or they really are so ignorant or brainwashed that they think sea-levels haven’t been rising for millenia.
Maybe “team of researchers” is an in-joke too. You never know with these wacky guys.
Thanks for the link to the story! In case you didn’t notice, the research cited includes a nuanced discussion of sea level rise expected as part of the “normal” glacial-interglacial cycle and greenhouse-gas forced warming that lies outside that norm.
Bob,
You have had record snow up there since the 2008 CU climate model study forecasting the doom of Colorado skiing. How about doing a story showing that the climate models are wrong?
Steve, 2009-2010 winter precip was very close to average, the year before that, below average. It was just this year that we had above-average snowfall, but not a record. We had more precip in 2002-03, and also in 1995-96. Hard to make a climate argument based on year-to-year snowfall stats from one state, though.
Whatever you say, Bob

Aspen flirts with powder record Only December 1983 tops this month.
ASPEN ? This month is shaping up as the second snowiest December in Aspen since someone started keeping records in 1934.

ASPEN, Colorado ? If it felt like the snow never stopped in April it wasn?t just your imagination.
Aspen appears to have set a record with 36.35 inches of snow for April, barely eclipsing the old mark of 36 inches in 1970, according to Charlie Bailey, water treatment supervisor with the Aspen Water Department.

Aspen Snowfall Records were beaten this week as the best Powder Skiing in the history of Spring Skiing was enjoyed by the Jet-Set New York crowd who flies West each season for their own special blend of ?March Madness?. Meanwhile, back in NYC, unwelcome snow was just causing a big mess for those not so fortunate, back on the grind for the 1st day of April?

Dang, and here I thought 2010-2011 was a bunch of freak snows caused by massive global-warming-induced lake effects from the Great Salt Lake.
Sorry if you don’t get the joke Bob…it has nothing to do with you.

Bob, normal still shows that the climate models were wrong.
Oh, no, whatever YOU say! The stories you cite are based on stats hyped by the ski resorts.
The monthly weather stat stories I post are based on reported data from trained weather observers measuring at official NWS sites. I feel pretty confident that my records on monthly and annual snowfall in Summit County (not Aspen) are accurate. But I’ve only been reporting them for 10 years or so, and I wouldn’t dream of drawing any sort of statistical climate trend from that small sample.
