Record warmth is forcing the organizers of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, British Columbia to helicopter in snow to cover mountains. The planet’s changing climate is threatening the start of the Olympics, as “sloppy, foggy weather” has canceled training runs on both Whistler and Cypress Mountains. In Vancouver, the “average temperature in January was 44.9 degrees, besting the previous warm record of 43.3 in 2006 and well above the historic average of 37.9 degrees”:

1. Nary a peep from the climate-change denialists about this

and a compliant corporate media makes little mention of it either. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the talking heads covering the Winter Olympics are under a gag order to keep quiet about trucked-in snow. Meanwhile, the 'news' shows are beating the bushes to find idjits who point & laugh at the snowstorms along the middle Atlantic seaboard as proof that 'global warming is a crock.'
