What would surfing be without
the waves? What would rugby be without the rugby ball? What would happen to
skiing if there was no snow?
Skiing is a sport I've recently
taken to, and as an Earth-appreciating, sport-loving geography undergraduate,
I'm well aware that skiing is a sport at risk. Human activities result in
increased pollutants such as carbon dioxide being emitted into the Earth's
atmosphere, which leads to abnormal changes in climate, above what would occur
naturally.
Over the next few weeks, I'm
planning to focus this blog on the effects that this climate change is having
on skiing conditions in the French Alps. I'll also look at a few local impacts
of weather changes, and use a little bit of personal experience to think about
where we are now.
