Yes ... I think the "experts" call it global warming.

Let's start a new dumbing down and start blathering on about "global cooling".

It was bloody cold on Chrissy day (especially in the mountains where I live) ... woke up to the ground covered in hail which got me singing "white christmas" (which isn't pretty). We needed the rain though to help with the fires in the North East - those fire fighters have had a hard time up there and this was just the chrissy pressy they needed. Good on em and a big thanks for the teriffic job they do/are doing.
Still wish I was at the Gold Coast though!!!

Yeah, they live in denial, and call it a freak of nature. My Uncle in England remarked the other day that he thought temps there were warm for this time of year. 10 dgrees in Birmingham the other day.
