#3 Yeah, but I thought we would all meet our end in a fiery hothouse of steam and acrid pollutants???

The hippies would prolly still have a way to tie this back to carbon emissions.

#4 snow in winter? how utterly strange.

Now if it were to STOP raining on South Island for a whole day, that would be news.

#5 Is it still hot in the summer? Expect AlGore to put a spin on this for his favorite cause. Oh, he already has made his statement in Cannes.

#9 Heavy snow in lowland New Zealand is rare.

Monday's snow fall, described as the heaviest seen in low-lying areas, has left many rural communities still without power and water supplies.

With more than 60 centimetres of snow covering his farm, Fairlie Basin farmer, David Williams, was unable to reach his sheep and cattle on the hills.

Peter Chamberlain, who farms on the plain near Christchurch, says the snow fall there has been the biggest since 1945, but there are no immediate concerns for sheep and cattle.

#10 Yeah, and how long have white people been keeping records? Everyone seems to gloss over that weather records are about a hundred years old and European record keeping in that part of the world about the same length. How was it during the Little Ice Age, 1400-1800? We don't know.
