Skiinfo - Up To 2m Of New Snow In Seven Days for Austria And Switzerland

It is still snowing heavily in Austria, German and Switzerland with many resorts receiving more than a metre of new snow in the past week, and www.skiinfo.com issuing numerous powder alarms to subscribers.

Switzerland had the largest falls of all with Sörenberg reporting an incredible 210cm (seven feet) of snow falling in the past seven days (the biggest fall of 60cm/two feet yesterday, February 17th). St-Cergue La Dôle came close with 200cm (6.6 feet), 50 cm of which also fell yesterday. Zermatt continues to have the biggest snow depth in Europe and probably the world with 7.12m (24 feet) on the glacier. [Via ICECAP]

Dispatch from Bryan Walsh's world: The Race Toward a Climate Change Cure - TIME

...a growing chorus of experts is beginning to doubt whether cap-and-trade alone will reduce CO2 enough to curb runaway climate change. [Bryan--can we see a list of names, please?]

The Brookings idea is one among many, but what's clear is that while the country is increasingly coming to agree on the scale of the threat posed by climate change [Bryan--could we see some polling information that backs up your claim?], we have yet to pose solutions that can match that scale. Taking federal energy R & D off life support is one way, but we'll need others.
