Of course the only guy who is skeptical in this CBS piece is the one who actually owns a ski resort, the one who sees the books on a yearly basis.
CBS Predicts Climate Change Means the End of Snow: 'Winter Sports Could Be Doomed'
In another attempt to promote global warming activism, CBS This Morning journalists on Thursday warned viewers that climate change could lead to the end of snow and skiing. Co-host Charlie Rose informed viewers that "the author of a controversial book believes winter sports could be doomed." [See video below. MP3 audio here.]
Yet, if there was much "controversy" in the notions pushed by writer Porter Fox, they hardly made it onto the CBS segment. Instead, reporter Don Dahler tossed this softball to Fox: "If thousands of scientists agree that this is happening why are there elements who resist it so much?" The author of "Deep: The Story of Skiing and the Future of Snow," responded by lecturing, "I think there's a long history of doubting science when it goes against the grain of what you want to happen."
The only skepticism in the segment came when Dahler talked to Tyler Fairbank, the CEO of Jiminy Peak Mountain Resort in Massachusetts. On the subject of climate change and snow melt, he reasoned, "I know we're certainly not seeing the kinds of patterns and data that suggest the sky is falling."
Rose began the segment by connecting the just-completed Sochi winter Olympics. The host insisted that they "suffered some of the most extreme weather of any winter games." Rose specifically pointed out this included "temperatures in the 60s."
Yet, as the Media Research Center's Sean Long noted, this shouldn't be that shocking. In a previous report, "CBSâs Mark Phillips described [Sochi] as 'a subtropical corner of Russia where it never snows down on the coast and where the mountain snow base can vary dramatically from year to year.'"
