global warming, climate change, polar shift... whatever you want to blame it on, the climate in bc is changing. the trees are dying (the pine bettle has something to do with that too, but if the winters can get to -40 for three weeks than they would all die)... give it a few decades and bc will start to look a lot like california... fuck, osoyoos is already a desert.
i am currently in Fernie... 'legendary powder'. hear all these stories from the locals about how the snow piles would get over half way up the powerlines... well, in three days this town has managed to go from about 4ft of snow (which was bad enough for Fernie standards) to grass.
I hear it's snowing in revelstolk... all i know is that the aussi's are making fun of bc's snow saying they had a way better (way better) season in New Zealand this summer. With Gordon Cambell wanting to double the outdoor tourism and giving the ok for almost every ski hill in bc, more heli operators, and the whole Jumbo Mountain thing... I'm not exactly sure that depending on 'eco-tourism' is a good plan on revenue for this province for the future, at least not in the way that it is being aimed. But I guess, just as long as everything goes well while Cambell is in office than Cambell is happy... why care about the future, when you can make money now?
The stories I hear about that guy... he seams a bit of a sketch ball to me anyways.
