Heresy Snowboarding

I must admit, I am having a lot of difficulty focussing on ski seasons and saving them. It’s hard to focus and worry about ski seasons when there’s a lot more at stake...

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...

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) here and here...

Ok so people are really bloody (I SO wanted to use the EFF word but my mum reads this) dumb: world is cooling. HAHAHAHAHAH. No, it’s not (you douche). Still not convinced?. What about now? - (I REALLY could do this all day! Wheeeee, this is fun!)...

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...

Whilst intellectuals like Andrew Bolt claim the continuing global warming will be delightful (perhaps in Siberia), I submit to you the following evidence. How about increased dust storms in the USA? Dust storms look like they probably will speed up snow melt. That sounds pretty crap...

Does this make sense to you? Coz I sure as hell can’t figure it out. The world is melting and getting warmer, big Oil is making BILLIONS but wants to keep sh!tting on our planet and snowboarders are worried about perfume?! I know, WTF right...

One of the most ridiculous things I have ever heard from a skier or boarder (or anyone in ski resort management) is: “I/we don’t care about global warming or less snow, we can use snow guns”. Well, no, not really...

Yes. We believe that climate change (with resultant warming) is occurring. Yes, the planet has warmed and cooled of it’s own accord. But never this fast. Why are we still debating this I wonder? Because the debate is getting in the way of action...

From crikey.com.au Unfortunately, as conservatives like to point out when advocating doing nothing, we’re at best 2% of the world’s emissions. Think about that for a moment. Australia faces perhaps total disaster in the next 100 years, but we have no control over it. The rest of the world does...

Anti global warming or climate change proponents (some call them crackpots…I suppose some like Andrew Bolt are) really make it easy these days. I totally concede that skepticism in science is needed, but: 1. We only have one Earth - the risks in listening to denialists are way, WAY too high 2...
