Snowstorm and too much wind in the Pacific Northwest defined the ski weekend

Last week, the record snowfall in Whistler for November was officially broken. That trend continued over the weekend for the entire Pacific Northwest region, from Whistler down to Mt. Bachelor in Oregon. The blizzard was welcome to skiers and snowboarders, but the heavy winds were not so much. Mt. Hood Meadows and White Pass couldn't open their lifts on Sunday due to 100 mph winds! However, despite the wind, riders and skiers were having a blast this weekend. Said Holly Lipert, communications manager for the Summit at Snoqualmie Pass: "It's been amazing. It's great skiing. Another 6 inches has dumped since 5 a.m., and it's so early in the season for powder."

The storm over the weekend dumped about three feet of snow in 72 hours.

But new research now seems to be backing up Svensmark’s theory. Dr. Svensmark and his team undertook an elaborate laboratory experiment in a reaction chamber the size of a small room. The team duplicated the chemistry of the lower atmosphere by injecting the gases found there in the same proportions, and adding ultraviolet rays to mimic the actions of the sun.

Result: a huge number of floating microscopic droplets quickly filled the chamber. These were super-small clusters of sulphuric acid and water molecules – which are the building blocks for cloud condensation nuclei - that had been catalysed by the electrons released by cosmic rays.

The point? The research experimentally identified a causal mechanism by which cosmic rays can facilitate the production of clouds in Earth's atmosphere.

...no one should buy the defense that this is just how all human beings/scientists talk amongst themselves. No, this is how conniving, colluding, ideologically self-deluded scientists talk amongst themselves.

After running out of excuses, in September CRU’s Phil Jones simply claimed that he had lost the data so, sorry, no, no one can check it. Implausible beyond comprehension. And if the emails are real and any indication of the way this group operates, deeply dishonest.

Soon thereafter someone went and downloaded material that, again if real, says enough, you are scandalizing and perverting “science”. This shall stop. Someone took it upon themselves to enforce a UK freedom of information act that its targets allegedly and apparently admit to subverting.

This cannot simply be a three-day story about titillating emails. The edge seems to have been turned up on information proving everything we have been saying, often in great detail if to no media interest, for years. Kyoto II, “cap-and-trade” and EPA must all be stayed, at least so far as the U.S. is concerned, until the truth is outed and admitted to.
