AUSSIE SKI FIELDS DEFYING THE AL GORE DOOMSDAY SNOWMELT TREND

With all the political fuss being made about climate change in the corridors of power in Canberra in the Australian Capital Territory nowadays, one might wonder how the snowline is fairing these days in snow season in the nearby Australian Alps, given that by all rights, according to what Al Gore has been preaching for years, that australia's rather fickle and endangered alpine footprint would have to be receeding rapidly by the year, if you were to believe that a miniscule increase in the temperature of the atmospheric airspace north of Antarctica would make snow in Australia as easy to find as a tasmanian tiger.

While politicians in Canberra, mainly the ALP and Green ones, remain pre-occupied about blotting out Australia's 0.01% contribution to the annual world CO2 omission tally, the snow usually keeps falling in the Australian Alps and in parts of Tasmania each year, usually in time for the official opening of the ski season, but some years, like it has since the time of Captain James Cook ( like 1788)  it's a bit late getting to the party or it doesn't arrive at all.

Be very interested to see some data about the snowlines in the various alpine regions around Australia over the past 20 to 30 years and make some comparisons myself to determine if there has been a consistent loss of snow cover in the time since climate change politics was born. There is always grass skiing and bungee jumping if Tony Abbott succeeds in scrapping the carbon tax and australia's snow starts resembling the slosh you make Slurpees out of (laugh). Sorry, i couldn't help but laugh at my own joke.
