> Global warming being caused in part by internal combustion engines and aviation results in less snow for skiers... Solution? Chopper some more snow in to counter the effects of I.C.E's and aviation. Huhmmmm.... Does anyone else spot a dichotomy in thinking here?
Well, they're doing it to keep their income and profits coming. A major part of it in fact - probably half the yearly income.
Since you're probably from a western country, how much of an income cut and inconvenience when driving/commuting were you prepared to take to combat climate change until now?
Because that's really what you're asking here - are you going to take a 50% paycut and stop using your ICE vehicle forever?

- izacus 4y agoExactly! That's the thing happening here - "I'm going to keep my convenience until everyone else changes their mind!" being used as an excuse to do nothing and just point fingers at others.
- mrpopo 4y agoNot really the same thing. Snow in low-altitude stations is running out. Bringing it in via helicopter is not gonna work forever. People cannot keep relying on it for their income.
