Shall I mention global warming? Is it real, is it happening? or is it not real?
I have been leaning towards the "real" answer lately, while their may still be freak weather events with cold snaps that only last for a day or 2, nearly every month i check the temperature averages, they are above average, for regular snow, the snow line seems to be going up, and the last time there was 3 metres of snow in Aussie alpine resorts was decades ago, we are seeing winter starting later, temps getting warmer in June, a pretty slow start to ski season, it only really started snowing regularly in the later half of July, to add to it, Mt Donna Buang have only recorded a few days of snow this season, their record is 17 weeks of snow cover on ground, which goes back to years ago also. I got no doubt pollution has an effect on the temperature, and tree growth helps to keep the temperature down, we are living under a canopy of many trees, and the temp can be 15 degrees cooler than 2km down the road. But overall the weather seems to be warming up nearly year after year, there's still a freak cold year here and there, but rarely, it's getting above average most of the time. And the over development and over expansion of Melbourne's borders doesn't seem to be helping the climate at all.
So what are your guys views on global warming?
