Marek Warszowski’s article about the financial woes of China
Peak demonstrates another way that climate change is going to be bad for
business--especially the ski business.
Climate scientists say this year’s snow no-show is likely to be part of
long-term trend; they predict a 50% decline in Sierra snow pack by the end of
the century.
Not surprisingly, climate change has been a top priority of
America’s ski industry for at least 15 years.
Their very existence depends on a cool climate.
The National Ski Areas Association website says “Climate
change presents challenges to the ski industry that require proactive planning,
bold action and leadership.” They
advocate reducing the carbon emissions of their operations through energy
efficiency, as well as legislation on climate change solutions. They also encourage skiers to ask their
legislators to act to prevent climate change.
So I call on all skiers, snowboarders, snowmobilers, and
other lovers of snow to contact Reps. Devin Nunes, David Valadao, and Jim
Costa. Ask them to pass legislation now
to help protect our winter snowpack, and help keep China Peak in business.
