Famous Skier Warren Miller on Global Warming

This is cross posted at Ski-Blog.com

Got sent a link to a new skiing blog today and was reviewing it.  Came across this article from the Pimp Daddy of skiing, Warren Miller.

If you are to believe Nobel Prize winner Al Gore, who also received an Academy Award for his documentary about global warming, everyone should immediately sell any ski or snowboard equipment they own and give up their futile search for powder.

To that scenario I say, “Forget it, Al!” All weather is unusual and the snow will show up and everyone will forget all of the doom and gloom of last winter…

After many years of traveling the world, everywhere I’ve filmed the weather was always unusual. Do I think the unusual weather conditions during the last decade are based solely on internal combustion engines?

A resounding, “No!” ...

There are many other factors besides Al Gore that affect the overall temperature of our planet. Of great significance are solar flares and cosmic radiation. One solar flare explosion can be the equivalent of several dozen atomic bomb blasts. When the radiation collides with the earth’s atmosphere, it causes more clouds to form and they lower the overall temperature.

So put all of this information together and chances are you will be making your winter reservations at the same time based on when we had them last year. Scientific evidence relating to potential snow conditions is completely irrelevant to your winter vacation plans.

So get out in the garage and tune up whatever you will be riding on this winter, get your body in shape and try not to get freaked out by Nobel Prize-winner Al Gore. Even though he did invent e-mail and the science of global warming in the office of his air-conditioned, 22-room home, that is fortunately a very long way from any ski resort. Or, at least, it’s a short flight in his private jet.

Warren Miller makes movies too.  Probably better documentaries than Al Gore does.

Comments

I have read elsewhere that Miller is quite the HCGW skeptic, which can not be making him particularly popular among much of the skiing crowd. Typing this as I watch another 3” of snow falling here in western PA.

I am inclined to believe that Global Warming is actually good for the ski industry as it puts more energy into the atmosphere triggering stronger and more intense storms.  It is bad for coastal low elevation resorts, but awesome for places like the Rockies where I live.

I guess global warming means snow will never happen anymore.
