Winter Forecast 2015-2016

[Puck it]

Even if you believe in Global Warming, there is no real world evidence of "potentially devastating consequences for skiers".

Disregarding the fact that the infallible Climate Change scientists have been shown to repeatedly overstate the potential warming (unintentionally AND intentionally) that they claim should be occurring over time, the reality is you're currently looking at VERY small changes in temperature. At some point.......it's going to happen.......surely.....people are going to start to question how completely unreliable the Climate Change scientists models are, and why they haven't been right. I have no other example I can give you for a hypothesis that is seemingly broken or at very least deeply flawed, yet is allowed to "simmer" in a purgatory of acceptance while we wait for it to be "correct again" at some point in the future.

95% of the scientists agree but we are never told on what. People need to read and listen to Richard
Lindzen

Dick Lindzen is a dinosaur, wing nut, and zealot. His daughter has to accompany him when he speaks in public now. If you're going to pick a poster child for the small minority, you should find a better one.

He is 75. And if you are calling him a zealot then the pros are radicals. The guy has a very calm demeanor and he is not saying we should not do something but rather do it in a way not the destroy economies. He is just saying that the measures being proposed have a big effect on the US economy for very infinitesimal return.

There are two sides to every story. Review the data from both sides because the data can represented to give the preparers view especially if it from the media. Thus my comment on agreeing.




Oh , and stop drinking the kook-aid, because $7 a gallon gas would kill skiing.

Sarcasm??


I think global warming discussions are about the most pointless internet conversations in existence. They happen over and over again and never once in the history of the intertrons has someone convinced the "other side" to change their point of view. They infinitely go round and round in circles and always devolve into insults, virtual high fives and people self back patting thinking they've somehow "won."

Case in point. Timmy makes a harmless joke and folks took it as a call to arms. :lol:

But, hey, if that's the time suck people are into; go for it. :lol:

This rain and one media outlet calling for a 70 degree (F) Christmas Eve have me annoyed.

Change will come, but for now, Ullr is off my Christmas card list.

I have given up until New Years... I will be in NYC doing the annual Jewish Chinese food celebration for the 25th...

Case in point, I point out a renown scientist in his waning years and he is called a wing nut and zealot. This is what irritates me to no end with talking about it.

Just drop your families (and this discussion and head to Utah!)

Perhaps zealot is the wrong word. Contrarian may be better. He feeds off his identity as someone who goes against the consensus at every possible point.

He has made some great contributions to science, but most back in the 1970s. Since then his work has been subpar. He's singularly focused on finding the flaws in the work of others rather than contributing novel new research.

I have two free Southwest tix sitting waiting for me to pull the trigger.

I have to come clean for my part in the poor weather. I got new skis. Two pair.

Luckily I haven't put on my winter tires yet. Otherwise we'd never get snow.

I'm off to buy an SUP, see if I can fix this mess...

And your waiting for what exactly?

At long as we're having a confessional...
I bought snow tires and a new snow blower. I've been thinking about selling my wife's car and getting another SUV. I am very sorry.

Oh man. My snow blower is in for repair/tune up. Forgot about that one. In penance I shall self flagellate with my ski poles.
