Global Cooling!?!

What more could a ski bum ask for!
I typically don't rant about a politically sensitive subjects like this, but rumor has it the Arctic Ice Cap doesn't want to melt away like some are saying it will. So the question posed; is global warming... A) Sound scientific analysis based on good data, B) Typical temperature cycle of our global environment (which we have limited data on), C) propaganda used for political gain, or D) a combination of some or all? I guess only time will tell, but for now I just hope that this year we get half as many powder days as we had last year. Why half? Cuz any more would just be greedy, and more people would probably want to move here ;)
