    Climate Deniers Article

     

     

    Waking up to snow and freezing rain in Austin, TX this morning put me in a foul mood…not because of the weather, but because of the inevitable carping it will cause among the handful of remaining skeptics and naysayers. As the Eastern seaboard is buried under huge snowfalls, as Texas sports fans had to brave a foot of snow during the NBA All Star festivities two weeks ago (I know, Northerners, I know), it might give pause to even the staunchest supporter of dangerous climate change. Nonsense.

    As we discuss in many of our training sessions, the planet is a closed system. If you unnaturally heat it up, water evaporates but it does not disappear into outer space. It accumulates in the atmosphere to be dumped elsewhere, hence hurricanes hitting south of the equator for the first time, record floods in the Dakotas early last year, and yes, a lot of snow in unusual places this year. Check with Olympic officials and see how happy they are with the precipitation in Vancouver. Someone said the ongoing weather phenomena should really be called climate chaos as that is far more accurate of what we will be experiencing.
