NY Times declares Skiing Endangered – As Snow Trend Grows and Sets New Records – Emerging With That?
Via James Taylor -January 8, 2022
The New York Times published an article yesterday tried to scare off skiers into becoming climate activists by claiming that snow cover was dwindling across the country. “Snowboarding is an endangered sport,” declares Times. In fact, objective data shows that snow cover has increased over the past 30 years, and current snowfall in the nation’s best ski country is setting new records this ski season. “All news fit to print” looks like “all propaganda fit to print”.
The Times“The article states,” Skiing is an endangered sport, caught between a warming planet and a global pandemic. Furthermore, according to the article, “In recent years, with snow cover dwindling and pristine powder becoming increasingly difficult to access, skiers like Miss Backstrom have been pushed onto brushed trails. broached more often”.
Using satellite measurements, Rutgers University Global Snow Laboratory (GSL) maintains accurate global, hemisphere and continental snow cover data dating back to the 1960s. According to GSL data, over the past 30 years, global and North American snow cover has not decreased. Instead, there was a increase in snow cover for the past three decades.
Even when compared with the 1960s, which fell in the middle of the global cooling period from 1945 to 1977, recent snow cover in North America is only slightly less than was the case during the cold era 60 years ago. . That small drop was entirely due to snow cover earlier in the spring. Even so, the level of snow in the Northern Hemisphere has been enjoyed for a long time evolution during the last 60 years during autumn and winter.
The Times‘the article is particularly ironic considering the many snowfall records that have been set in top ski areas over the past year. Hubei Tahoe, home to some of the best ski slopes in the country, enjoys record snowfall of 18 feet last month. Yosemite National Park snowfall record, in addition, last month. Even further south, Mammoth, California sets a snowfall record most recent is May 2019.
Sorry, New York Times, skiing is not endangered, and objective scientific data shows powdered ski slopes on the rise. easily to achieve.
