"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Non-Sequitur Chronicles: Ski Resorts Start Weeks Early Despite Supposed Global Warming
Submitted by A. Magnus on Wed, 2015-11-11 01:00
"It’s snowing again right now, a bad Tuesday morning for area commuters, but great news for skiers and snowboarders. Almost two feet has fallen in the past week, and temperatures have also allowed them to start augmenting Mother Nature with snowmaking in full force. The mountains aren’t just gearing up, they are gearing up way ahead of schedule."

I think that the "catastrophic" and "anthropogenic" parts of "catastrophic anthropogenic global warming" are probably being exaggerated, especially the former, but I also think the comment accompanying the article gives a bogus argument. There is both considerable year-to-year variation and considerable geographic variation in temperatures. You can't conclude much about long-term global temperature trends from one data point like this.
