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.
