Brilliant headline!
Now for the climate tie-in:
“Climate modeling experts are gobsmacked by the catastrophic increase in Colorado basin snowpack. By fitting the 42 adjustable parameters contained in state of the art climate models to hindcast the 2009 – 2011 trend of +10 inches/year equivalent water, or +100 inches/year snow, and incanting the climate tenets of stationarity and teleconnections, climate modeling experts announced it is plausible that global April snowpack will exceed 2200 feet by 2100.
Investors in Dan Bloom’s polar city on Greenland’s northern coast expressed guarded alarm over the snowpack forecasts, although they were reassured by climate disruption experts that half-mile thick snowpack does not preclude the plausibility of also losing all of Greenland’s ice sheet by 2100.
Details of the complex scientific results will be discussed on NPR’s All Things Considered and on Coast-to-Coast A.M.. When Day After Tomorrow story co-author (and Coast-to-Coast radio host) Art Bell was asked if he now felt vindicated by the results, he said “It may be worse than we thought.””
🙂
good one!
I assume it is going to start melting at some point, which would be a shame :
The peer-reviewed paper :
” Summer 2011 : Permanent snow in the Rockies – A certain sign of CO2-driven forcing” (Hansen, Schmidt, Trenberth , Jones et al)
would be a “must-read”.
Are you using this information to dispel climate change theories? That is like standing in a forest of sick trees, but looking at one or two that are still growing well and declaring that there is actually nothing wrong with the forest.
The anti-climate change lobby seems to have this habit of feeding us tiny morsels of information, claiming they disprove what the majority of climate scientists are telling us.
Show us some data that hasn’t been cherry picked – either geographically or temporally – and perhaps we may start to believe your theories. Until then, I think it wise for people to look at the global trends that back up many of science’s predictions about climate change.
Just show up here recently?
Yes, but looking forward to some sensible debate 😉
Gareth, please stick around and you’ll see the each and every notion about climate science’s predictions about climate change dispelled.
In this particular case, the ski industry in Colo. had already been given its last rights. The same can be stated about many other places around the globe. On a case by case basis, Steve often shows where they were wrong. This is only one example. There are plenty of archives you can run through to see other examples.
Pointing out a heavy snowpack in a particular season shows nothing at all about the long term.
Global warming is unequivocal

Etc. etc. etc…….
Ever heard of a two-way street?
Don’t forget about the tornados. As Kevin Trenberth says, all weather events are proof of global warming.
Garth,
These guys are serious scientists who chew up alarmists and spit them out just for fun. Stick around for awhile and see what that is all about.
Gareth….
Perhaps your forest is full of sick trees because they need CO2 and it’s been outlawed….
Hmmmm. Now there’s an idea.
Seriously though, I’m an open minded guy, but all the evidence I have seen showing the bigger picture says that the climate is changing. Yes, I know, the climate is cyclic, dynamic and has constantly changed over time – but not at this accelerated rate. I don’t think that climate change is all man made by any stretch of the imagination, but can anyone seriously deny the fact that we are pumping more CO2 in the atmosphere and that CO2 has a warming effect? In light of this, is it not a good idea to be just a little bit cautious? Just a tiny bit? Plus let’s remember that climate change scepticism is used by many as an excuse to nothing about other related issues such as resource and energy conservation.
