Global warming means better skiing?

"Monarch Mountain announced it will open Friday, the earliest opening day since the mid-90s."


"Up to four feet of snow in the last week; more than five feet so far this season First early opening for Breck and Keystone in nearly 10 years due to the incredible early season conditions"


Who is to blame for the California fires?

Climate Change or Bad Forest Management?

"In the United States, wildfires are also due in part to a failure to thin forests or remove dead and diseased trees. In 2014, forestry professor David B. South of Auburn University testified to the U.S. Senate Environment and Public Works Committee that “data suggest that extremely  large megafires were four-times more common before 1940,” adding that “we cannot reasonably say that anthropogenic global warming causes extremely large wildfires.” As he explained, “To attribute this human-caused increase in fire risk to carbon dioxide emissions is simply unscientific.”
