Lol @ the lunacy and dishonesty of mankind.
This just in: climate scientists are alarmed at recent reports that the summer Olympics are much warmer than the winter Games.
The winter “Olympics” are doomed! Doomed I tell ya!!! After Sochi, I think they could easily be replaced with a “Gay Pride” parade and people would still watch. At least until “the next big thing” comes along. The world is having a love affair with sexual deviants right now.
Sochi is not the ideal place for the winter Olympics. It is fairly warm.
But, I envison it much like Santiago, Chile.
70 degrees in the city. 45 minutes away and 9,500 feet up 30-50all day and snow like glass as ride and like feathers when you fall.
Might be an agenda in this story.
Sochi is like that.
The city sits at sea and the actual skiing is 30 minutes untie mountain by train.
So what is the temp at the ski runs?
Too funny. Check out northern Michigan.
Oh, brother...

I’ll bet a lot of cavemen said this same exact thing at the end of the last Ice Age.
The Atlantic.....filled with garbage, old fish, crabs and s**t. It’s also the name of an ocean.
I don’t recall Odyseus complaining about frigid winters at Troy (39.9 N)and it sat on similar latitudes as Sochi (43.4 N). The difference is about 200 miles or a 3 1/2 hour drive (like from Austin to Dallas, TX). What were the Russians and the Olympic committee thinking when they chose a southern location in Russia. I’ll bet Putin wanted to turn Sochi into a future resort area for the West. That was a good plan. But if so, why were the hotels and infrastructure not ready? Some of Russia’s lower managers are surely in trouble. Maybe they’ll take a vacation in the comfortable camps in Siberia. Putin could have pulled off an impressive event had it gone well.
Also, if these global warming cranks think they can accurately predict climate into future decades, they could make some real money working as weather announcers because they are usually wrong on the weather for next week.
Sochi is the same latitude as the French Riviera.
Time Magazine from June 1974…
“Telltale signs are everywhere —from the unexpected persistence and thickness of pack ice in the
waters around Iceland to the southward migration of a warmth-loving creature like the armadillo from the Midwest.
Since the 1940s the mean global temperature has dropped about 2.7° F. Although that figure is at best f(sic) Columbia University’s Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory and his wife Helena analyzed satellite weather data for the Northern Hemisphere, they found that the area of the ice and snow cover an estimate, it is supported by other convincing data.
When Climatologist George J. Kuklaohad suddenly increased by 12% in 1971 and the increase has persisted ever since. Areas of Baffin Island in the Canadian Arctic, for example, were once totally free of any snow in summer; now they are covered year round.
University of Toronto Climatologist Kenneth Hare a former president of the Royal Meteorological Society,Warns “I don’t believe that the world’s present population is sustainable if there are more than three years like 1972 in a row.”
“But the scientific enterprise will never be completely free of mistakes.” Al Gore
In Soviet Russia we hold Summer Olympics in Moscow (55 degrees North; Juneau, Alaska is at 58 North) and Winter Olympics in Sochi (43 degrees North; Boston is at 42 North).
Then capitalist pigs come to games and blame weather on themselves. Go figure.
LOL! My daughter, a resident of the District of Columbia, would answer that in the negative today!
>>So yes, if the IOC insists on picking warmer-weather sites for its Winter Olympics, then the games will have trouble with snow. Perhaps they should consider the actual climate of their potential sites before picking them in the future.
As someone who saw an inkling of the shenanigans of His Fascist Excellency Juan Antonio Samaranch (former International Olympics Committee chairman) in the selection and operation of the Atlanta ‘96 games, I would guess that considering the actual climate of their potential sites was well down on the selection criteria, if the current IOC crowd is similar. No reason to think it isn’t.
Sochi is at about the latitude of Florence.
But then it’s also at about that of Chicago, Boston and Vladivostok.
Can we assume that all the millions of people shoveling global warming along the Eastern Seaboard as we discuss this article will write The Atlantic and the moron author of the article their thoughts on the matter...?
