Global warming? Australian says "barely had a summer this year"

Global warming? This is the coldest winter in many years for many areas ... there is more snow cover in North America than since 1966 ... New England is receiving record snows ... Baghdad saw snow for the first time in 100 years ... and now there's a report from Australia that says they barely had a summer this year.

Australia's News.com.au reports:

THE final day of summer in the Snowy Mountains has taken on a wintry chill after snow fell last night at the ski resorts of Perisher Blue and Thredbo.
A light dusting of snow blanketed the NSW ski resorts overnight as temperatures dropped to a low of minus 3.8 degrees Celcius at Perisher and minus 3 degrees at Thredbo.

Weather forecasters are already predicting a bumper snow season for 2008, according to resort management. Temperatures are expected to remain low with persistent precipitation throughout winter.

"We have barely had a summer this year," said Gary Grant, Perisher Blue's general manager of marketing. "It's felt as though it's remained cold since the end of the 2007 season, apart from a few warm days, the air has always had a nip in it."

Thirty-five years ago we were warned of global cooling. Then Al Gore tried to convince us all that we were in the midst of global warming. When will they accept it's climate changes and a normal thing for Planet Earth?
