Won’t somebody think of the resorts‽
You joke, but that might be the only global warming effect that the rich actually care about. Not to mention that it will probably decrease the value of their properties in the Alps
They are just holding them till there tropical beach front properties.
Dystopia for us, utopian paradise for the rich. We would be completely flooded out while they whizz around in helicopters to and from the Alps

The situation isn’t much better in US resorts. I live in the Jackson Hole area and by this time last year I had a four foot layer of snow on my front yard (typical). This year, most of my lawn is fully exposed. Boomers born and raised here tell me that snowfall used to bury the town in yards of snow back in the sixties. The town would be cut off for days.
First time ever in ohio we had a 61° F Christmas day. I’ve been here for 14 years and I’ve never seen this. It was at least cold as shit. I actually took the kids to the playground instead.
Do you want to tell the people living outside Jackson’s hole just where that is?
I live in a ski town, got turned down for a job last week because the snow’s been shit this year and the tourist traffic is down. Was a stormy weekend which should help, but fuck, we’re definitely the one’s ringing the most alarm bells about the climate, you can even get the conservatives on board when the local economy gets obliterated.
What a sad, sad commentary on the state of the climate discussion. “We can’t ski anymore” is the only rallying cry that works. Maybe we don’t deserve a climate that’s not trying to actively murder us.
Well for the local conservatives it isn’t even the mountain conditions it’s the lower tourist traffic and the economic impact of that which has them rallied.
Haha, rip bozos. Maybe you’d stay in business if we did something about global warming earlier. Get rekt
I notice this tendency too. Might be that in 10 years I would no longer be skiing.
I want to laugh but no snow implies lower water reserves and a poorer landscape.
But fuck ski resorts. With the skis. Sideways.
