Let me get one thing out of the way.
I feel really sorry for climate deniers. Especially rusty old crackpots like Ian Plimer, or, for that matter, utter crackpots like Bolt. Even as the Good Ship Humanity sinks into the murky depths, methinks he will protest too much.
But I digress.
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 [...]
We’ve previously written about the insanity of climate change denialism (as opposed to healthy scientific rigour.
You might think this sounds rather boring, Snowboard/Ski-person, but, this prevailing attitude affects you in a profound way. Not just in your ability to pursue your snow addiction, but in your ability to access affordable food and clean water.
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.

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.
Skeptical Science has been a bit quiet lately, probably stalking their prey like a ninja, looking for their mark.
I’ve previously talked about the ridiculousness of ideological, or non-science based denialism (as opposed to scientifically rigorous debate)…
This is what people who believe in science are up against.
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) [...]

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.
You must read this article: it changed the way I looked at everything
Global warming and climate change are looking worse and worse. Super bad.
