Watch Now: Climate Depot’s Morano on Fox News on Olympians urging new UN climate treaty: ‘105 Olympians actually believe that a UN treaty will impact winter Olympics. That is a frightening thought’ – ‘Almost 2800 Olympians who did not sign on to this letter’

Daily Caller excerpt: ClimateDepot founder Marc Morano ridiculed Olympians who signed onto a letter urging a U.N. global warming treaty in the wake of low snow totals for the Sochi Olympics, noting that record snow is occurring throughout the world and they picked “the most southern Russian city with palm trees.” 

Morano spoke with Fox News’ Neil Cavuto about the letter, which saw over 100 Olympic athletes write a letter claiming climate change “threatens” this and future Winter Olympics. They highlighted the importance of signing a comprehensive, global climate change treaty at a 2015 U.N. meeting on global warming. 

But Morano pointed out that Sochi’s position in Russia — thousands of miles south of Moscow and not far from the Turkish maritime border — lends the resort town an almost tropical feel that doesn’t produce much snow. Meanwhile, vast swathes of the Northern Hemisphere, including the storm-socked East Coast, remain buried under snow and ice.

Olympians are using the warm temperatures in Sochi, which usually has balmy temperatures during the winter due to its southern location, to call for action on climate change from global leaders.

‘Someone should have told them that Sochi is one of the most Southern Russian cities and its most famous summer resort. At least that’s how it used to work in the communist era. As a schoolkid, I would hear about Sochi pretty often. Apparatchiks would enjoy many of their summers in Sochi. Stalin himself had the most favorite personal summer cottage in Sochi. I understand that the American and other readers may be unfamiliar with Sochi but Sochi, a Black Sea resort, was a kind of the Soviet answer to Florida and California’

The NY Times Thinks It Is The ‘End Of Snow’ For the Olympics: Reality Check: ‘Snow is doing just fine in the Northern Hemisphere’ — Now the Olympics usually runs in February, so lets look at snow cover data for February. 2013 in February certainly had a little less snow than 1967 (47 years ago). But 2013 had a lot more than 1968. About 3.5 million sq km more in fact according the Rutgers snow lab. And 2010-2013 were probably the snowiest 4 years ever. The late 1970s would be the snowiest 3 years (but that was the coldest winter in US history) 1989 to 2002 looked bad for snow. But that was a long time ago. Warmists do tend to live in the past. Looking at that graph I would have to conclude that there is no end of snow. Snow is doing just fine in the Northern Hemisphere. However, the lack of snow does somewhat coincide with the AMO in February being very low. But it has nothing to do with CO2.

Global Warming Is Melting Sochi – It’s hot in Sochi, the dystopian home of the Winter Games. Temperatures hit a balmy 61˚ F on the slopes today, presenting the Olympic media establishment with the most obvious quip in sports news history: this weather’s better suited for the summer games. The warmth is ruining the halfpipe, slushing up the snow, and sending athletes into the shade in bouts of rage...Organizers aren’t surprised by the heat; in fact, they planned on it. After Sochi saw a hotter-than-average winter last year, officials hauled in an extra 500,000 tons of snow and stored it on the slopes, just in case.
