It’s hard to imagine that on the first day of Fall, Colorado is already getting hit with snow. All over the Central Rocky Mountain region, from Aspen to Winter Park, many resorts have received some decent accumulation. Two of the more ambitious resorts like A-Basin and Loveland have pulled out their Snow Guns and started to pump the hills full of >lead> snow.


The best about this is (fortunately for us here in Colorado) the Snow Squall isn’t going anywhere. In fact forecasters have put out a Winter Storm Advisory until 6PM tomorrow for Summit County expecting accumulation anywhere from 6-16 inches!
This has gotten everyone around the Freeskier Office excited. Whether it’s El Niño, La Niña or Global Warming, the fact remains that we are getting substantial snowfall…and it’s only September.

Thanks Lisa for this great article.

I get a lot of people telling me to accept the science. What they don't seem to understand is that I have talked to the scientists and encourage anyone who doesn't believe me please go talk to real scientsts ...not politicians. So anyway here is the article.


31,000 scientists reject 'global warming' agenda
'Mr Gore's movie has claims no informed expert endorses'
May 19, 2008

"Unfortunately, Mr. Gore's movie contains many very serious incorrect claims which no informed,
honest scientist could endorse,"

More than 31,000 scientists across the U.S. – including more than 9,000 Ph. Ds
in fields such as atmospheric science, climatology, Earth science, environment and dozens of other specialties – have signed a petitionrejecting "global
warming," the assumption that the human production of greenhouse gases is damaging Earth's climate.

"There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon
dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gases is causing or will, in the
foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere and
disruption of the Earth's climate," the petition states. "Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth.

The Petition Project actually was launched nearly 10 years ago, when the first few thousand signatures were assembled.

Then, between 1999 and 2007, the list of signatures grew gradually without any special effort or campaign.

But now, a new effort has been conducted because of an "escalation of the claims of 'consensus,' release of the movie 'An Inconvenient Truth' by Mr. Al Gore, and related events," according to officials with the project.

"Mr. Gore's movie, asserting a 'consensus' and 'settled science' in agreement about human-caused global warming, conveyed the claims about human-caused global warming to ordinary movie goers and to public school children, to whom the film
was widely distributed. Unfortunately, Mr. Gore's movie contains many very
serious incorrect claims which no informed, honest scientist could endorse," said project spokesman and founder Art Robinson.

WND submitted a request to Gore's office for comment but did not get a response.

Robinson said the dire warnings about "global warming" have gone far beyond semantics or scientific discussion now to the point they are actually endangering people.

"The campaign to severely ration hydrocarbon energy technology has now been markedly expanded," he said.

"In the course of this campaign, many
scientifically invalid claims about impending climate emergencies are being made.

Simultaneously, proposed political actions to severely reduce hydrocarbon
use now threaten the prosperity of Americans and the very existence of hundreds of millions of people in poorer countries," he said.

In just the past few weeks, there have been various allegations that both shark attacks and typhoons have been sparked by "global warming.

The late Professor Frederick Seitz, the past president of the U.S.National
Academy of Sciences and winner of the National Medal of Science, wrote in a
letter promoting the petition, "The United States is very close to adopting an international agreement that would ration the use of energy and of technologies that depend upon coal, oil, and natural gas and some other organic compounds.

"This treaty is, in our opinion, based upon flawed ideas.

Research data on climate change do not show that human use of hydrocarbons is harmful.

To the contrary, there is good evidence that increased atmospheric carbon dioxide is
environmentally helpful," he wrote.

Accompanying the letter sent to scientists was a 12-page summary and review of research on "global warming," officials said.

"The proposed agreement would have very negative effects upon the technology of nations throughout the world, especially those that are currently attempting to
lift from poverty and provide opportunities to the over 4 billion people in technologically underdeveloped countries," Seitz wrote.

Robinson said the project targets scientists because, "It is especially
important for America to hear from its citizens who have the training necessary to evaluate the relevant data and offer sound advice.
He said the "global warming agreement," written in Kyoto, Japan, in 1997, and other plans "would harm the environment, hinder the advance of science and technology, and damage the health and welfare of mankind.

"Yet," he said, "the United Nations and other vocal political interests say the
U.S. must enact new laws that will sharply reduce domestic energy production and raise energy prices even higher.

"The inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness include the right of access to life-giving and life-enhancing technology.

This is especially true of access to the most basic of all technologies: energy.

These human rights have been extensively and wrongly abridged," he continued.

"During the past two generations in the U.S., a system of high taxation, extensive regulation, and ubiquitous litigation has arisen that prevents the accumulation of sufficient capital and the exercise of sufficient freedom to build and preserve needed modern technology.

"These unfavorable political trends have severely damaged our energy production, where lack of industrial progress has left our country dependent upon foreign
sources for 30 percent of the energy required to maintain our current level of prosperity," he said. "Moreover, the transfer of other U.S. industries abroad as a result of these same trends has left U.S.citizens with too few goods and services to trade for the energy that they do not produce.

A huge and unsustainable trade deficit and rapidly rising energy prices have been the result.

"The necessary hydrocarbon and nuclear energy production technologies have been available to U.S. engineers for many decades.

We can develop these resources
without harm to people or the environment.

There is absolutely no technical,
resource, or environmental reason for the U.S. to be a net importer of energy.

The U.S. should, in fact, be a net exporter of energy," he said.

He told WND he believes the issue has nothing to do with energy itself, but
everything to do with power, control and money, which the United Nations is
seeking. He accused the U.N. of violating human rights in its campaign to ban much energy research, exploration and development.

"In order to alleviate the current energy emergency and prevent future
emergencies, we need to remove the governmental restrictions that have caused this problem. Fundamental human rights require that U.S. citizens and their industries be free to produce and use the low cost, abundant energy that they need.

As the 31,000 signatories of this petition emphasize, environmental
science supports this freedom," he said.

The Petition Project website today said there are 31,072 scientists who have signed up, and Robinson said more names continue to come in.

In terms of Ph.D. scientists alone, it already has 15 times more scientists than are seriously involved in the U.N
's campaign to "vilify hydrocarbons,"
officials told WND.

"The very large number of petition signers demonstrates that, if there is a consensus among American scientists, it is in opposition to the human-caused global warming hypothesis rather than in favor of it," the organization noted.

The project was set up by a team of physicists and physical chemists who do research at several American institutions and collects signatures when donations provide the resources to mail out more letters.

"In a group of more than 30,000 people, there are many individuals with names similar or identical to other signatories, or to non-signatories – real or fictional.

Opponents of the petition project sometimes use this statistical fact
in efforts to discredit the project.

For examples, Perry Mason and Michael Fox are scientists who have signed the petition – who happen also to have names identical to fictional or real non-scientists," the website said.

The petition is needed, supporters said, simply because Gore and others "have claimed that the 'science is settled' – that an overwhelming 'consensus' of
scientists agrees with the hypothesis of human-caused global warming, with only a handful of skeptical scientists in disagreement.

The list of scientists includes 9,021 Ph.D. s, 6,961 at the master's level, 2,240 medical doctors and 12,850 carrying a bachelor of science or equivalent academic degree.

The Petition Project's website includes both a list of scientists by name as well as a list of scientists by state.

I have received a decent amount of hate mail telling me I am going to be responsible for destroying the Earth, I'm an idiot or I am evil. What they fail to realize is how well I know both sides and that I have talked to scientists on both sides.

The truth is increasing co2 could cause an increase in temperature. (I said could)

But they fail to mention or realize a few things

If man made global warming is real it would affect higher altitudes more like ski resorts, Denver etc. It creates milder winters NOT sizzling summers.

Their scientists admit even though they believe co2 is increasing temperature they are still not 100% certain.

Their scientists also admit even if temperatures increase they would  not reach temperatures of 6000 years ago when Earth was 6-8 degrees warmer then now.

This is where my logic kicks in. If polar bears and humans didn't drown in a sea of melted polar caps then, why would we drown now?

We live longer and healthier with a warmer Earth.

Studies have shown that forests, plants, fruits and vegetables grow faster with more co2 and/or a warmer climate.CO2SCIENCE and Carbon Dioxide

So my question is this. At what temperature would they be satisfied at? Does the Earth have a "normal" temperature like the human body does at 98.6? When the Earth begins to cool again would they spread black soot over Antarctica like they wanted to do in the 1970's when they feared global cooling? Do they want to have control over our temperature? And how do they know what the perfect temperature would be. If we wiped out all the man made co2 and the planet still continued to warm would they be ok with that or would they still try and cool down the Earth?

I am not a scientist, and I do not wish to take credit for any of their had work. What I do is research, research and more research into what scientists have researched, discover, and say. I believe in using common sense and logic to come up with answers.

I discovered a while back that there wasn't anyone  (except for a few individuals and non profit organizations) taking a firm stand on there belief that global warming is a bunch of crap. If you ask around you will find that atleast 50% if not more believe global warming isn't real or not important. So why is it all you hear about is how were all going to die? By the end of this year we hope to to do advertising as far as commercials, online ads, enter parades and other things. The minority shouldn't be controlling 90% of the media.

Our website is  Global Warming Lies.com, it was made to get as many kool-aid drinking lemmings to start using their brain. It has some pretty interesting facts but if you plan on doing any sort of research or want more of the science behind why man made global warming is not real please visit the sites below.

Great for learning why CO2 increase is good for our world (also the worlds largest scientific resource on the effects or non effects of global warming) They are a non profit group and and charge 12.95 for a years access. I do not make any money off you joining. But I highly highly recommend you join to support their work.

You live longer in a warmer climate
Your chances of dying of cardiovascular disease increases in colder climates.
Dying of respiratory disease increases the colder it gets.

The Industrial Revolution's flooding of the air with CO2 resulted in mean yield increases on the order of 70% for other C3 cereals, 28% for C4 cereals, 33% for fruits and melons, 62% for legumes, 67% for root and tuber crops, and 51% for vegetables.

CO2 needs to increase to support food requirements for a growing popluation.

Fruit produces more antioxidants at higher CO2 levels
