Aspen Goes Full Stupid With McKibben

ASPEN, Colo. (AP) – Aspen Ski Area hosted a ski race without snow Saturday to highlight the effect climate change has on the outdoor recreation industry.

Auden Schendler, Aspen Skiing Company’s vice president of sustainability, says “climate change is already pounding businesses and communities, whether you’re a ski resort, an insurance agency or a raft business.”

The day’s events were organized by 350.org, an environmental group co-founded by Vermont activist Bill McKibben.

Aspen Mountain rarely has skiable snow in May. Last year had the best spring skiing in history. These fraudsters are completely FOS.

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…

And Even More From The Summer Of 1972 ….

The Committee To Re-Elect The President (CREEP) broke into DNC headquarters at the Watergate Hotel.

The five men were Virgilio González, Bernard Barker, James W. McCord, Jr., Eugenio Martínez, and Frank Sturgis, who were charged with attempted burglary and attempted interception of telephone and other communications.

Watergate scandal – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This was considered a huge scandal by the New York Times and The Washington Post, who devoted the next three years to bringing the president down.

Oddly enough, when Peter Gleick committed the same crimes in 2012, the Washington Post and New York Times determined that his crimes were for the good of the planet, and definitely not worthy of further investigation.

More From 1972

A few weeks after I played golf with Gene Roddenberry in August, 1972 – Yasser Arafat  earned the Nobel Peace Prize for murdering the Israeli Olympic team in Munich, and inventing the modern plane hijacking.

Later recipients of this distinguished prize included Al Gore, Jimmy Carter, Barack Obama and Rajendra Pachauri.

Are They Complete Morons, Or Just Pretending?

Huffington Post made this claim a few days ago.

Maine’s temperatures rose 1.9 degrees Celsius in the last century and another 2.24 degree rise is projected by 2104.

Shoshana Zuboff: When Global Warming Ate My Life

I pointed out that wasn’t correct. There has been no warming in Maine, even after NCDC’s 0.6F upwards adjustment.

MAINE Climate Summary

Look at the progression of stupidity by team HuffPo, and  in particular the last comment.

These people can’t really be as stupid as they pretend to be. Here is the NCDC data plotted in Excel. Exactly the same as their graph.

What Is The Difference Between Left Wing Terrorism And Climate Science Death Threats?

The claimed climate science death threats didn’t occur and were just more BS from the global warming community.

Racial Hate Crimes Which Obama Isn’t Interested In

Hope and Change Obama forgot to organize a lynching over these racially motivated hate crimes.

On March 14 in Tulsa, Okla., a white couple suffered a home invasion by Tyrone Woodfork, a 20-year-old black man. Ninety-year-old Bob Strait suffered a broken jaw and broken ribs in the attack. His 85-year-old wife, Nancy, was sexually assaulted and battered to death, ending their 65-year marriage.

On March 4, two black Kansas City, Mo., youths doused a 13-year-old boy in gasoline and set him on fire, telling him, “You get what you deserve, white boy.” Last summer, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel ordered an emergency shutdown of the beaches in Chicago because mobs of blacks were terrorizing white families.

Which Global Warming Activist Wrote This?

Sounds like Pauchuri, but it wasn’t him.

The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. They have greatly increased the life-expectancy of those of us who live in “advanced” countries, but they have destabilized society, have made life unfulfilling, have subjected human beings to indignities, have led to widespread psychological suffering (in the Third World to physical suffering as well) and have inflicted severe damage on the natural world. The continued development of technology will worsen the situation. It will certainly subject human beings to greater indignities and inflict greater damage on the natural world, it will probably lead to greater social disruption and psychological suffering, and it may lead to increased physical suffering even in “advanced” countries.

Doug O’Harra Turbocharges The Lunacy

More megastorms coming as warming climate accelerates water cycle
Doug O’Harra | May 04, 2012

Has the home planet’s pot begun to boil? Is there turbulence awaiting us in the decades ahead?

The energy so far pumped into the Earth’s atmosphere by climate warming has begun to turbo-charge the global water cycle, raising the specter of a future with more devastating storms, accompanied by longer and more implacable droughts.

Doug has also been telling us for years that Alaska sea ice (which set an all time high this year) is doomed.

Problems At NCDC?

Looks like someone was messing with their temperature database, and made some major boo-boos. People need to be more careful when tampering with climatic data.
