Green groups descend on congress, even though it hasn't stopped snowing like they said-either way it's 'proof' of global warming. Update: Sept. SNOW

Update: 9/14/11, "Snow in forecast for mountains around Aspen," Aspen Times

Billions of US tax dollars flow to global warming causes based on 'scientific' statements such as in 2000 that snow is "just a thing of the past." 11 yrs. later, still plenty of snow.

The NRDC issued a press release saying they're going to pressure congress on Thursday with big names to lobby for the ski business. Not because snow hasn't been good--it's been great. Just because it might not be as great, maybe someday.

Weak US politicians are the route to more money. Even though a top UK Climate expert predicted in 2000 that:

3/20/2000: "Snowfalls are now just a thing of the past." UK Independent.

"Britain's winter ends tomorrow with further indications of a striking environmental change: snow is starting to disappear from our lives.

Sledges, snowmen, snowballs and the excitement of waking to find that the stuff has settled outside are all a rapidly diminishing part of Britain's culture, as warmer winters - which scientists are attributing to global climate change - produce not only fewer white Christmases, but fewer white Januaries and Februaries. ...

According to Dr David Viner, a senior research scientist at the climatic research unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia,within a few years winter snowfall will become "a very rare and exciting event".

"Children just aren't going to know what snow is," he said."....

This year makes 3 years in a row of heavy snow in the UK. They also got the "barbecue summers" wrong. ed.

9/13/11, IBD, continuing: "As the NRDC put it in a press release yesterday:

Some of the top names in winter sports are going to the U.S. Capitol Thursday to ask lawmakers to stop efforts in Congress to block the Environmental Protection Agency’s ability to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Unless curtailed, carbon dioxide pollution is likely to cause a steep decline in snow and result in significant economic losses to the $66 billion-per-year snow sports industry,

• they will tell Congress.

The participants will deliver a letter outlining their concerns to lawmakers Thursday. Hundreds of supporters, including additional athletes and major winter sports businesses, have signed on to show their support."...

Photo above 11/26/10 BBC, snowing in UK, motorists in Wales. UK East Anglia (ClimateGate) and Hadley (part of the famed UK Met Office) global warming scientist in March 2000 said kids won't ever get to see snow in the UK again because of global warming. "Science" from the UK Met Office, funded in part by US taxpayers, was used by our government and the UN to make US government policy and to demand billions in 'reparations' from US taxpayers. If such 'science' hadn't been used to extract money, it might not be a crime. But that's not what happened. As of Sept. 14, 2011, wealthy climate industry groups are still selling this crime to US politicians who don't care about this country.
