Another Tourism Stake Through Their Global Warming Heart

Stop global warming sign buried in the snowAs a quick followup to the Global Warming antics of Senator Jeanne Shaheen that I remarked on here, it looks like another sacred scaremongering cow in her misinformation crusade continues to lay down to die.  New Hampshire snow sports tourism is riding a ten year high…

Alpine ski areas recorded a total of 2,276,370 alpine skier and snowboarder visits, a 20.9 percent increase from the prior winter. and a 4.7 percent increase over the 10-year average.

Cross-country areas also had a very successful winter, hosting 151,276 visits, a 57.2 percent increase from the prior winter. and a 14.8 percent increase over the 10-year average.

Areas with snowtubing parks reported 113,058 snowtubing visits, a 23.4 percent increase from the prior winter, and a 7 percent increase over the 10-year average.

Most of the holiday periods had excellent business levels thanks to enjoyable weather and snowfall. In contrast to recent years, the winter weather continued right through March, making for excellent skiing and riding conditions well into April, Ski NH said.

With eight of our top 10 winters occurring since 2000, we’ve got a great deal of momentum for skiing and riding in the state,” said Alice Pearce, Ski NH’s president, in a news release. “It’s always a good sign when our ski areas close with snow still on their slopes and trails due to guests moving on to other activities and not a lack of snow.”

All the way into April?  Well, that’s not much help for a US Senator who told us that we could lose half our snowfall due to global warming.  Maybe she’s wrong about that too?  Maybe she could stop sitting idly by while the Feds dump billions into technology no one wants or needs just because their liberal friends wish for it be viable?

We don’t mention it much around here but there may be significant benefits to climate change (see also: weather).  There is clearly no evidence that it has any of the negative effects the fear-mongering millionaires claim.  In fact, if we ever do have any warming, none in the past 16 years but you never know, there is research emerging that this might actually be good for humanity on the whole and not at all like the fear-mongering millionaires claim.

Now a truly moderate Democrat Senator might stop to consider that perhaps the Democrat Party tripe they’d been feeding on was not just wrong on the side-effects but wrong altogether.  That it might be a good idea to consult the thousands of scientists who hold differing opinions from those who back her political donors.  (This might also belay concerns about crony capitalism, pandering, accusations that she’s bought and paid for by groups that thrive off taxpayer dollars which she helps funnel to them…)

Any bets on whether Shaheen turns over a new leaf for the upcoming election or does she double down on those unsubstantiated, scare-mongering talking points the progressives keep handing to her?
