speaking as a soon-to-be scientist, whos been doing a lot of talking with other internationally recognized scientists for the last three years, I'd just like to say:
-its happenin'
-it'g going to cause increased percipitation and increased variability in that percipitation. So some places are going to get more, some less.
-it's too soon to know whats what just yet, but its all on such a large scale sorting out what is being caused by what is pretty well impossible.
-yup, you do get natural variations in climate globally, but they dont really happen this fast, except for that one time a meteorite hit the earth, and some dude snuck a big ice core out ofgreenland and figured out that a one degree change in global temperaturewas correlated with local variations of much, much more, and an ice age. Because theres wicked feed-back cycles you see.
-blaming everything on global warming is dumb; unilaterally denying that global warming could be playing a role is also dumb. The only way we'll really know is in retrospect, and since by then itll be too late, everyone should shut the hell up and start riding bikes.
oh..and if your going to whine about global warming fucking up your season, seriously consider the contribution you make to it by your lifestyle, let alone the environtmental cost of taking a jet across a continent for a week of skiing, you materialistic bitch.
