Snowy soccer is just a taste of what climate change will do to sports
March snow in the northern hemisphere, let alone in a high-altitude city like Denver, Colorado, may not seem unusual, but it is. Denver doesn’t usually get blizzards this time of year, which may be why FIFA felt comfortable scheduling a match there on the second day of spring. And while it’s impossible to attribute any particular storm to climate change, warming trends are clearly leading to more powerful winter weather. Denver will get a foot of snow before this storm is over.

March is the snowiest month of the year in Colorado. One of the standard claims of alarmists is that global warming brings declining spring snow cover. These people have absolutely no shame.
Yep, and Suzie Q and the bunch was saying the opposite for the last winter Olympics out there in BC! 😆 But then again they said Santa was gonna drown to, so Christmas would be cancelled! LMAO!!!

“warming trends are clearly leading to more powerful winter weather.”
Firstly this statement is absurd. Secondly snow is “more powerful” than no snow?
Temperatures in Colorado are 30 degrees below normal this weekend.
But it’s an extreme cold caused by warmth. That’s the worst kind of cold, I’m sure.
Unfortunately most of the public are low information voters. They aren’t going to remember that in the late 90s “climate scientists” were predicting less snow. They are not by and large trained in science so a concocted explanation that warmer air leads to more snow is going to sound plausible to some people, although to me trying to say that a warmer planet leads to more winter storms is a completely absurd statement – showing that “climate science” is not science at all. If it were science they would have noted the winters of 2008-2010 and flat temperature trend contradicted their theories and re-evaluate their assumptions. Instead they changed the theory to match the facts, and now “climate change” explains everything from drought to rain, to snow to hot to cold. This demonstrates its not science but an agenda driven by eco-nutcases that hate fossil fuel and advanced societies. Of course without fossil fuels and computers McKibben and the other loons would not be able to preach their nonsense.
People who write that sort of thing should be arrested on charges of accessory to manslaughter. Policy is made by people who read that drivel and those policies unnecessarily force energy costs up forcing people to choose between food and heat. Billions worldwide are being picked out of our pockets in artificially inflated energy costs due to writing like this. They should be held accountable.
