   Yes; BC had an excellent ski season despite having a very strong El Niño. though tempuratures in the valleys were warmer then usual at elevation the tempuratures were relatively cold unlike the last El Niño during the Olympics. Never heard any comments about what appears to be a contradiction; a strong El Niño with lots of snow on the mountains.

   “As for the Western part of the country, it will lose an estimated 25 to 100 percent of its snowpack by 2100 if greenhouse-gas emissions are not curtailed — reducing the snowpack in Park City, Utah, to zero and relegating skiing to the top quarter of Ajax Mountain in Aspen.”

   “There will still be a sliver of winter. That sliver is going to get smaller and smaller.”

   “Nothing besides a national policy shift on how we create and consume energy will keep our mountains white in the winter — and slow global warming to a safe level.

   This is no longer a scientific debate. It is scientific fact.”

   -Porter Fox, Features Editor at Powder magazine and the author of “Deep: The Story of Skiing and the Future of Snow

   So there. This is a scientific fact. And as you were told more than once, it’s unpatriotic to say otherwise.

   ”This thing of denying science … To deny what scientists or scientific evidence is showing is inappropriate, and as I said earlier, to me when I get wound up, it’s unpatriotic!”

   -Bill Nye, the Science Guy, Rachel Maddow Show

   This creepy Pee Wee Herman look alike is an obvious alarmist shill. Like all the other climate change liars out there,, he cannot be trusted.

     The alarmists won’t be happy until the Winter Olympics are hosted by Miami, and in the month of July.

       I don’t know. Sochi was a ringer. It will be hard to beat but I’m sure they’ll keep trying.

       It seems that some national teams didn’t understand where Sochi is.

       The Norwegians got closer with their pajamas but only Team Ukraine got it right. They’ll be in Al Gore’s next scientific movie, Slide #2.
