"Instead of adapting to global warming we're going to end up with a double problem: something that costs a lot of energy, that contributes heavily to global warming and that in addition is only for an elite group of people who can afford it. It is the world upside down," Bastien Ho, of green group Europe Écologie Les Verts , told French television.
Mr Pounau conceded that moving the snow was not a"particularly ecological" solution but said"we had no choice". Many other ski resorts in the Pyrenees mountains are facing an uncertain future, as low snowfall levels result in fewer visitors. This month, the ski resort of Le Mourtis was forced to temporarily close down its ski runs in mid-season, impacting the local economy.
Unseasonably mild temperatures have melted snow at lower altitude ski resorts. France experienced its mildest January since 1900, according to Meteo-France, the country's national forecaster.BBC Science's David Shukman has looked into how worried we should be about melting polar caps
Was ever thus in Luchon Bagneres. Went skiing there 3 times in the 2000s. Snow rather a lottery and temperatures reached 24 C in the resort. Surprised it is still going but a lovely area and well worth a visit. Stop weaving narratives!!
What's the carbo footprint for that
I've got loads of frost in my freezer, please feel free to collect it. You'll save me a job of defrosting it. Put it where you want on any slope.
And this cost what? ...
Thats great for the environment that is
Psst, the lack of snow is probably from global warming, which is caused by things like helicopters... Daft.
Bonkers
Incredibly sad what we have done to the planet.. now not even snow is guaranteed..
PortanovaLionel completely crazy 🙄
And so began the extinction of the most damaging ape that walked the planet.
Metaphors all over the place
Sheer lunacy 🤦♀️
What's greta saying? eco friendly or what running a helicopter doing that.
Brexit
FirstWorldProblems 😔
Mans got bare slopes.
It really is all over isn't it.
Greta will be pissed
People moving snow for people because of climate cha he caused by people
the recent Winter Olympics had the same issue. snow coverage is rapidly decreasing and the Alps are not immune to that fact
Burning carbon to make up for the effects of burning carbon… if there’s anybody left at the end they’ll look at this and laugh/cry
They are using excuse that kids are off school next week so they are really doing it for kids. The kids that will be inhabiting a hell on earth because of stupid bloody behaviour like this. Need to start giving these idiots awards for helping end life on earth. ClimateCrisis
They will be sending fridge freezers to the arctic next to stop it melting 🙄
Eh!
Good to see the French are taking climate seriously.
But what about the real news in France and Spain ?
Didn't disappoint again, three paragraphs in, climate change. Roll on till Boris sorts you out 👍
So it's too warm for the snow to stay...I have an idea let's burn more fuel transporting snow for wealthier people to ski on.
That would be environmentally costly. Let’s burn more aviation fuel for something unneeded.
Oh the horror, why not stop them skiing and leave nature alone to sort itself out?
🤓It like it. They threat snow with the respect it deserves. And secretly everybody hopes that somebody brings them snow with a helicopter. It's the ultimate display of love. Or degeneratedness. One of those.
Oh the irony
Greta is going to be mad.
They should be sued and fined by the world.
Are there still those who don't believe about global warming?
Just so people who probably drive Chelsea tractors and do very little for our environment can go skiing for the weekend, shame on the French for this inexcusable action
Holland ordered some snow from Costa Rica but the customs men seized it. 🤣
Really good for the environment!!!!
The planet's burning to hell, but sure, people gotta ski, damn it!
...so that means catastrophic anthropogenic global warming must be true, thanks BBC !
Climate change 😓
Capitalism reaching it's final form
Ridiculous
Must be snowing a lot nearby then.
We have gone stark raving mad.
Their commitment to helping the environment is amazing !!!
