Not one actual climatologist agrees with the theory that man's presence or activities are causing climate change. The real issue data that we need to follow is the incidence of death caused by weather phenomena and that has declined precipitously since 1850 even though population, especially coastal population has grown precipitously during the same period. The reason is that knowledge and wealth has grown exponentially during the same period. The great tragedy of Hurricane Helene is that we don't have the wealth to mitigate the tragedy this time. Our government has squandered all the money and credit on climate change fixes, mass migration, and other boondoggles.

A.) Climate Change Is Making Flooding Worse. Here's How.
One effect of climate change is that a warmer atmosphere creates more intense precipitation events.

The Intelligence Community and Climate Change

In an article posted yesterday, Northwestern University’s Medill National Security Reporting Project discusses the U.S.
intelligence community’s history with and concern over the growing security risks posed by climate change.
For nearly two decades now, climate change has been recognized as a security risk by many within the U.S. intelligence community.
From contracting with university scientists to collaborating with other governments, the intelligence community has worked to understand and prepare for the many security implications posed by climate change.
For example, according to one CIA climate change analyst interviewed, most recent research has included the flooding last year in Pakistan:
“We wanted to know: What are the conditions that lead to a situation like the Pakistan flooding? What are the important things for water flows, food security …radicalization, disease, and displaced people?”
With almost twenties years of work under their belts, one would assume that the U.S. Intelligence community would be a leading authority on climate change. However, the endeavors of the intelligence community to understand the security risks of climate change have been hampered over the years by partisan politics and climate change skeptics, miring almost all efforts by the intelligence community to assess the dangers of climate change.
According to a congressional oversight report, the George W. Bush administration, Retired General and former CIA director (2006-2009), Michael Hayden, reported, In recent years, the military, lawmakers, and policy analysts have all begun to express how ill-equipped the U.S. is to deal with the risks posed by climate change. The military claims it lacks the intel to properly plan their missions and the intelligence community reports it lacks the functional structures to address an issue such as climate change.
According to one 23-year veteran of the CIA.

There are very few actual climatologists. It's an arcane branch of physics. However, when the government and universities put out requests for proposals for "scientific studies proving the detrimental effects of man and his activities on climate" there are plenty of physicists who are happy to apply. All of their scientific studies are based on one data set that has been jiggered to support the findings that support the desired "scientific conclusions." Now, go find me such a report produced by an actual climatologist. Good luck.

Can Skiing Survive Climate Change?
Climate change poses an existential threat to the ski industry. A warmer climate means less snow and less now menas a shorter season for snowboarders and skiiers.

2.) Will skiing survive? Resorts struggle through a winter of climate and housing woes
This last winter was supposed to be a post-Covid rebound for America's $50 billion ski industry. But persistent drought linked to climate change, labor shortages and frustrated customers stuck in traffic and in long lift lines has made getaways less attractive.
A 'huge' carbon footprint

3.) How climate change threatens to close ski resorts
From the Swiss Alps to the Rocky Mountains, ski resorts are grappling with the impacts of climate change. How are they adapting in a warming world?
The Alps experienced record high temperatures over Christmas and New Year, reaching 20.9C (70F) in northwest Switzerland.
From the Swiss Alps to the Rocky Mountains, resorts are grappling with the impacts of climate change by trying to provide sufficient snow cover and rapidly adapt to the changing conditions, while envisaging what their future looks like in a warming world.
Besides measures to reduce its own emissions, such as by investing in renewable energy and building Europe's largest wood-fired heating plant, Anzère is planning ahead for a time where skiing may no longer be viable.
Climate change is turning skiing into an endangered pastime. Ski seasons are becoming shorter and slopes are turning green as temperatures rise. Heavy rainfall in Alpine resorts contributed to snow melting and slushy conditions.
When temperatures rise, the atmosphere ends up holding more water vapour which leads to more rainfall, says Marie Cavitte, a glaciologist and climate researcher at the Catholic University of Louvain in Belgium. "[When] temperatures increase, [water vapour] falls as rain instead of falling as snow," she adds.
"That is what is happening at low altitude ski stations, which are below 1,600m (5,250ft). There we are seeing a lot more rain on snow events which increase the melting of existing snow."
At low altitude resorts in Europe, snow depth is shrinking by 3-4cm (1.2-1.6in) every 10 years, says Cavitte.

Can Skiing Survive Climate Change? : Short Wave
Climate change poses an existential threat to the ski industry. A warmer climate means less snow and less now menas a shorter season for snowboarders and skiiers. NPR correspondent Kirk Siegler first covered the issue 15 years ago as local station reporter in Aspen. Now he returns to that world-renowned destination and tells Short Wave co-host Aaron Scott about one resort's efforts to push the nation toward clean energy while it continues...
