Ah, now it becomes clear why they picked what used to be the summer resort town of the Soviet elite to hold a Winter Olympics. The propaganda value of showing a place that has a Mediterranean (Black Sea, actually) climate and decrying the fact that there's no snow. An effect, of course, of all that evil CO2.

I disagree. They wonder no such thing. They just say that WE are the stupid ones.

Why not hold the next Winter Olympics in Baton Rouge, La., where right now, it’s below freezing?

“Scientists” and the MSMedia: lean back and kick when we tell you and we’ll be able to make the swing go higher.

More eco-porn, equivocation and guessing.

Judging from this curve, I'd be more worried about the 2100 Summer Games...if I worried about sports at all.

I wouldn’t think to remove it from the realm of possibility.

And look at SampleMan’s post #35, if you didn’t already. If they aren’t evil, they’re just blithering idiots, or completely corrupt, or all of the above.

...while what would have been the normally frigid winter that usually has encompassed the Sochi region..

Actually Sochi has winters more similar to Atlanta than Lake Placid. It was an odd choice for a winter olympics.

Sochi in February:

Justa is right. Sochi is a summer resort. It was a place where the proletariat went for “sanatorium”. It was chosen for political reasons. See the above link with videos. . Its an eye opener.

Two Rules About Global Warming

1 - Record Setting Cold Temperatures: Snow or ice does not disprove the existence of Global Warming. They are just anecdotal evidence of a temporary condition and cannot be regarded as valid indicators.

2 - Record Setting Warm Temperatures: Drought, rain, storms, melting ice, or other unusual conditions are undeniable empirical evidence that man caused Global Warming is destroying the planet, and maybe even the entire galaxy.

You hit it just right. A very, very true observation of the mindset of the man-made global warming crowd!
