Death of backyard rinks linked to climate change - thestar.com
Shorter Canadian winters could well mean no more Wayne Gretzkys, a scientific study reports Monday.
Five years of meticulous analysis by researchers at McGill and Concordia universities tracked evidence for the “significant shortening” of the outdoor skating season across Canada.
Fewer backyard rinks and less time on the ice means an attack on “a critical component of Canadian identity and culture,” the study says.
“Wayne Gretzky learned to skate on a backyard skating rink.”
Hansen : The Dust Bowl Denier | Real Science
James Hansen’s claim that recent heat waves and droughts never could have happened in the past, are proof that he is either senile or spectacularly dishonest.
Not only could they have happened, but they did happen. The weather in the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s was far more extreme than recent weather. At one time in Hansen’s life he knew this.
He has either lost his memory, or he has lost his integrity.

These silly warming scenarios are completely ignoring the accumulating evidence supporting the Younger-Dryas Impact hypothesis, sometimes called the Holocene Start Impact hypothesis.
One MORE multi-discipline paper is highlighted at www.CosmicTusk.com yesterday. It displays the paper via Srcribd, titled "PNAS: New Evidence from Central Mexico supporting the Younger Dryas extraterrestrial impact hypothesis".
Another CosmicTusk post is "Trust but Verify: Independent confirmations of the Younger Dryas Impact Boundary" at http://tiny.cc/aVJe2b . This lists papers that have found impact markers ranging including nanodiamonds, magnetic spherules, Iridium, carbon spherules, glass-like carbon (some w/ nanodiamonds), charcoal/biomass burnings, and at least one crater. There are 32 peer-reviewed papers listed, not counting the ONE Daulton skeptical paper that Anthony Watts highlighted some time back.
The evidence keeps piling up and piling up. The "black mat" is almost but not ubiquitous in the sites studied, and its thickness is typically about the same as that on the a central Mexican 27m-long sediment core taken under Lake Cuitzeo in Michoacan. The 10cm black mat layer is at the 2.8m depth, right at the 12.9kya of the onset of the Younger-Dryas stadial.
These sites have ranged from Belgium to the western and southwestern U.S. states.
Compared to this pile of evidence, that has not stopped growing, the climate change hyptothesis is based on
