We will be very lucky if still have a functioning NE ski industry in 20 years due to global warming. From projections that I have seen, models are showing that we ought to expect more winter precipitation in form of rain and sleet than snow. Temperature swings (prolonged melting, followed by freeze) will only increase making people less likely to come and spend good money to ski on crappy surfaces.
ROTFLMAO
P.T. Barnum was right.
I can't be certain why you're ROTFLYAO and implying that I'm a sucker, but at least I recognize facts when I see them.
You dont recognize "facts", you recognize propaganda. Facts would mean indisputable evidence, which we do not have. An inconvenient fact would be that despite increasing CO2 levels as correctly predicted, the earth has not gotten warmer in about 15 or 16 years (unlike what was predicted), much to the chagrin of Global Warming scientists and their numerous wrong computer models. The entire hypothesis is broken and hanging by a thread.
The only thing keeping the industry known as Global Warming (aka Climate Change) going is crooked world governments, ever-eager to use this "cause" to fleece people and corporations of their money. Just because the earth currently is indeed in a warm period does not mean man is causing it. At very least, I wonder how many failed predictions are necessary before more and more people begin to question the great Global Warming scare.

Climate change is real...
The dead horse awoke! I thought the internet put this sad religion to sleep.

Get right will you!!!!
Just remember to look at who sponsored the data and that will tell why the data syas what it does!!!!!!
Let's all go out and buy some carbon credits and be thankful that Al Gore invented the internet and Global Warming!
Al Gore NEVER said he invented the internet.. Thats a Neo-Con lie...
Climate change is real... Man is accelerating it.
And your politics won't change that.
Has there been changes in our overall climate the last decade plus? I sure think so. Have there always been changes to our climate throughout history? Atleast during my lifetime there have, and I'm guessing from the scientific data retrospectively looking at climate that this has always been the case. We live in a dynamic, not a static environment. Do we need to respect it and do our part to be "good stewards" to it, sure.
Are the changes in climate really just attributable to man vs. just the "normal" climatic changes that occurr over time? That's a question that probably isn't as it might appear on the surface
I guess Wolf Blitzer is a neo-con....
