Ski area stay open until May 5th in the Pacific Northwest
« on: April 21, 2008, 12:34:50 PM »
Snoqualmie Pass will stay open to an unprecendented date of May 5th this year.  :rock Record snowfall in WA state in 2008.  :rock

On that note, it snowed this past week-end in the Seattle area, also a record.  :rock

Global warming or lack of infrastructure and over population?

Lets be careful to seperate the two....

No the food shortage is due to global warming in a way. Because of all the global warming folks demanding we reduce our use of fossil fuels we're now using up tons of food crops to produce ethenol. The UN just had a big meeting about this.

WTG to all the chicken littles out there. You wanted to save humanity by not burning oil, your starving them by making us burn our food sources. BRILLIANT!!!!!

Yep coldest/longest winter I can remember here in the NW< but we have needed the snow pack for awhile now.

How this turned into food shortage thread, I'll never know :confused: It does remind me of Sam Kinisons stand-up comedy, where he was talking about starving people. He said, you are living in a desert.... you have no food.....you are starving to death....of course theres no food....... you live in a f@#king desert!...it hasn't rained in forever....move to where the f@#king food is!

You didn't listen hard enough.  GW is being blamed for the failure of a number of staple crops across the world.  There is no doubt that ethonol/biofuel production is also to blame also, but man-made or not, GW has contributed also.

Immediately labelling someone a chicken little is about as silly as:

1.  Listening to a UN report and ignoring anything you don't want to hear
2.  Asssuming that snow still being on a mountain, or that one cold spell, discredits the whole idea of GW.

I'm not a proponent of the man-made climate change theory (I don't believe the case for it has been proven), but climate change whatever its root cause is happening.

Cherry picking at the evidence is not only unscientific - it's stupid.

The places experiancing the food shortages have always had food shortages. Global Warming has nothing to do with it. If you live in a desert, food doesn't grow to well there. Add to that that the people that do live there want to breed like rabbits and all of the a sudden the food shortage becomes a food crisis. I can't make the leap of imagination that my driving my truck around is killing some poor kid someplace in Africa because I'm making the planet hotter somehow.

Man made Global Warming is a joke. The problem with this planet is that there are WAY too many people on the rock. Cut the population by half and guess what??? Plenty of food to go around then. Alot less polution in the air, water, and soil. This planet NEEDS a major catastrophy and sooner or later mother nature will deliver one for us. Everyone wants to worry about saving all of human kind, how about we consentrate on getting rid of the ones that contribute nothing to the species. The 3 strikes your out rule, should be JUST that. You get convicted 3 times for a felony, instant death sentence.

I could go on but I think you get my point. If people are causing the problem then lets get rid of some people.

Let hundreds of thousands of people die of starvation?

Are you serious?

As long as you aren't one of them I assume?

Dear oh dear.
