The climate cult just won’t give up
How extreme winter storms are connected to climate change and hurting businesses
The second powerful winter storm of 2022 hit a large swath of the country in early February. It dumped more than a foot of snow in parts of New York and New England, brought a wintry mix of rain, sleet and snow to our region, and frigid conditions all the way to Texas.
The storm impacted all kinds of businesses, like ProSource of Akron, Ohio, which sells wholesale flooring.
“The largest thing for us was our deliveries. People just don’t run a lot of semi-trucks when it’s storming like that,” said store manager John Reinart.
Business at ProSource slowed way down. Deliveries got pushed into the next week, few customers visited the showroom, and employees couldn’t get to work one morning. “This has been crazy,” Reinart said. “I’m turning 30 in April, and I’ve never seen anything like it in my life.”

Several cities in the Northeastern US have seen record-setting snow in recent years.
It might seem contradictory to think that “global warming” will create historic snowfalls. But not to Jessica Spaccio, a climatologist with the Northeast Regional Climate Center, managed by NOAA.
“We’re seeing not just even warming. What we’re seeing [is] more extreme events and changes and variability in our weather,” she said.
Does this mean there was no snow during the Little Ice Age? That the last glacial age was super warm? Anyhow, the piece continues to attempt to Justify the cult beliefs that cold and heavy snow is caused by carbon pollution.
Michigan ski resort chiefs call for climate action, reduce own emissions
Leaders at two up north ski resorts recently called for faster climate action – even federal carbon taxes – to stave off the effects of the escalating climate crisis on Michigan’s signature four seasons.
Chief executives at both Crystal Mountain and Boyne Mountain resorts in northern Lower Michigan said sustainability efforts at the all-seasons resorts may help offset their operational carbon footprints, but argued bigger, systems-wide actions are needed to prevent an irreparable intensification of the effects of climate change – effects that will impact not just resort operations, but everyone on the planet.
They could start by giving up the use of fossil fuels to heat, run, and maintain the resorts, and tell all skiers they are not allowed to arrive in fossil fueled vehicles. Let’s see how that goes.
