Things are hotting up: snow seasons are in trouble

Thanks for checking back, we really appreciate it.Australian and overseas marginal ski resort seasons are in deep shit (I’ve stopped caring about saying naughty words – they have more impact).
Seriously. Deep. Shit. So, we’re in the middle of our 2009 Australian ski season and we have a base of around 1metre. Now I remember [...]

Nope, no global warming here.

With this issue, SKI concludes its 1964-65 winter publishing season, but we hope that our readers will not bring their ski activities to an abrupt end. Some of the best skiing blessed by long sunlit hours comes in March and April and on, in places, to May, June and July. In fact, in a world made smaller by jet aircraft, skiing never ends. To prove the point, Mt. Tom, Massachusetts, instructor Jules Eberhard travelled last summer (northern hemisphere summer, that is) to Australia, whence he sent this picture showing that the chairlift maintenance crew at The Chalet in New South Wales was having an unusually easy time of adjusting sheaves on the towers. The reason: snow, piled up in depths of 38 feet, buried chairs and reached almost to the top of the towers. By the end of July, so much snow had fallen in the winter land of kangaroos and koala bear that hotels has disappeared up to the third floor.

I understand your sceptisicm. Scepticism is healthy, when it’s based on logical thought and science.
Climate change denialism is based on neither of these.
The incredibly excellent Tamino shows you how it’s going to get worse. Tamino uses maths, statistics and data (and loads of logic) [...]

Our snow seasons are saved!!

OMG! Lake Eyre is filling up! EVERYTHING WILL BE OK!

This is Irony

A NEW coal port that will cement Newcastle’s place as the largest coal exporter in the world is quietly being built up by several metres, apparently in preparation for the rising sea levels brought about by climate change.

James Lovelock: some sort of awesome

I reckon James Lovelock is awesome.

Do you think we will survive?
I’m an optimistic pessimist. I think it’s wrong to assume we’ll survive 2 °C of warming: there are already too many people on Earth. At 4 °C we could not survive with even one-tenth of our current population. The reason is we would not find [...]

The Climate Change Wars – a fishing analogy

Gaving Schmidt over at RealClimate.org has a thought provoking post about the climate change debate; couching it in terms of an argument over fishing stocks.

Climate Change: not so good for anyone (especially for snow seasons and drinking water)

Global warming and climate change are looking worse and worse. Super bad.
