LOL!! poops snow bricks...

To be fair for Seattle, they almost never get snow. When they do, its usually less then 1" and doesn't stay long.

cloud seeding *might* be bad for the environment.

Unnecessarily Powerful Snowblowers
Your text states "It features a 2,000-horsepower engine and can clear 10,000 pounds of snow per hour--an industrial-sized snow removal monster." A good household snow blower can remove 10,000 pounds per hour. OOPS These can actually remove 10,000 - 12,000 tons per hour.

Never ever EVER make a link to "Six Quiet Climate Villains" again.

EVER

the bricks Yukitaro makes would be good for making forts.
that sugar beet thing is a great idea.

Using the word "raping" in any LIGHT manner (as stated in the last picture here "lung-raping") is BULL!!! Have some freaking tact you heartless jerk that wrote that!!!

"Sometimes, good intentions just aren't enough. You need explosives or dangerous chemicals."

Then, you write:

"Global Warming: We're All Helping!" (With something totally unrelated to the article underneath, by the way.)

That's the reason I'm no longer a subscriber, thanks.

You know what? How about you be one way or the other next time? If you're going to write about what's necessary, what's the point of blithely insulting people while you're at it? If 'dangerous chemicals and explosives' really are the way to go (as most of us realize), then why do you immediately go and decry it?

Why does a science magazine frequently refer to the anti-science of man-made climate change? Michael Crichton, a scientist, had a brilliant view on this subject. Look up his speech on "environmentalism as a religion."

Is it not truely interesting that the snow line during this winter exactly matches that of the Little Ice Age! It is unfortunate Yuri Virovets does not know much "natural history." If he did, he would know during the Littel Ice Age the winters were cold, springs and falls wet and damp, and the summers hot and, often dry. Many of the empires of the Americas collapsed during periods of substained droughts before man made CO2 brought civilization to its' knees - fear mongering feels good and sells, yes!. Massive snow storms visited New England in the 1600, 1700 and 1800s. Also, what Yuri does not know or chooses to ignore is that global temperatuers dropped between 1.5 and 2.5 degrees and that were still not back to pre Little Ice Age temperatures, but let us not be bothered by details,let's just go with hysteria like those who pushed Lysenkoism!
