“Their forecasts indicate the “business as usual” scenario will cause average temperatures to rise by nearly 4 degrees Fahrenheit at Aspen and Park City by 2030 and 8.6 degrees F in Aspen and 10.4 degrees F for Park City by 2100, said Williams. A paper by Williams and Lazar was presented at the Fall Meeting of the American Geophysical Union held Dec. 15-19 in San Francisco.
“Ski industry officials know that warming is real, and that small changes in climate have substantial effects on ski areas,” said Williams, also a fellow at CU-Boulder’s Institute of Arctic and Alpine research. “The bad news is that the past five years of global CO2 emissions have exceeded our high-emissions scenario.”

Warming climate signals big changes for ski areas, says University of Colorado study

Looking pretty nice at Eldora right now.

Anyone who makes like projections earns his renown.
The problem is that they are never held accountable, so they can be pretty brave about such precise predictions, even differentiating between Aspen and Park City. I suggest that if they are going to make these dire predictions, they simply be required to predict something that should be easy, the average global temperature in 2024. If they miss by more than .5 degrees, then they are put in prison for ten years for defrauding the world population, and since they will be judged by the accuracy, an independent party must be given charge of the temperature record. If they predict something that shows no global warming, then they are also put in prison for fraud as well.
Why are climate projections always wrong? Because paid alarmists (Big Brother calls them “scientists”) place rigged bets on CO2 for warming powers the life-giving gas never possessed.
NASA, NOAA and other agencies around the globe keep tampering with the recorded temperature data, producing fake records to fit the failed CO2-warming hype-othesis – which is then published and widely disseminated. The MSM make hateful metaphors about skeptics of the fraud. Useful idiots who don’t want to be ridiculed, take the easy road and go along with/believe the voodoo-science propaganda – and they disseminate the climate quackery even more. On and on the cycle continues, and repeats, with absolutely no actual science behind it at all. Houston, we have problem.
Question Authority
Climate science is to meteorology as astrology is to astronomy. It has widespread appeal, particularly among the technically ignorant, it makes outrageous claims about its efficacy and is seldom correct in its actual predictions. This is nothing new; Kepler only got funding by claiming he could produce better horoscopes. ‘Carbon taxes’ when they are brought in, will not really be taxes on harmful gases but taxes on ignorance and stupidity.
They just double down and extend their already falsified projections out further. Winter Park, that has been in operation over 80 years, opened two slopes earlier than they ever have in their history this winter.
I keep tabs on the Grand Targhee resort which is just over the pass from Jackson Hole. It has what it calls, “The Stick of Truth”. Check it out during the daylight hours.

‘8.6 degrees F in Aspen and 10.4 degrees F for Park City by 2100, said Williams’
Incredible precision !!!
Yea, but of course precision and accuracy are not the same thing.
