    Down here in Tasmania it is really cold. It’s the same across SE Oz. Heaps of snow on the Oz Alps for the traditional opening of the ski season..

    Time to trot out the “Global Weirding” nonsense.

  3. Geoff says:

    Yes, Virginia. There is a global warming, Traditionally it has been called S-U-M-M-E-R !!!!! DUh…

    Its winter down there. It always is when it is summer in the north. That’s what you get with a tilted planetary axis.

    The weather all around the world has gone crazy, call it global warming, call it climate change, call it natural occurances, call it a hoax, but the facts are there.

  6. CJohnson says:

    The big earthquake in 2010 shifted the Earth off it’s axis 3-10 degrees toward the south. If my theory is right then most northern hemisphere countries should be hotter and most southern hemisphere countries should be colder since 2010. Do the research yourself! Is there anything we can do…NO! Just be prepared!!!!

    • That is one of the more bizarre comments I have seen today.

        Record cold summer in Sydney
        By Robert On February 16, 2012
        Not just the day, not just the month, but the entire summer.
        “Western Sydney is experiencing its coldest summer on record thanks to cloud and rain associated with the La Nina weather cycle,” says this article in the Daily Telegraph.
        “Sydney was only able to record an average 24.6C, putting it on track for the coldest summer since 1953.”
        As if that’s not bad enough, the forecast for Sydney calls for possible strong winds, hail and flooding this weekend.

        extreme cold front has broken a series of low temperature records for Canberra, Goulburn and the Snowy Mountains.
        The southern tablelands and Victoria’s Alpine region have also been hit by the summer chill.
        A rapidly moving cold front from Antarctica moved though Tasmania, Victoria, New South Wales and the ACT yesterday.
