[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 501831, member: 4386"] The start of the snow season has been 8th to 10th June all my life (Queens Birthday weekend) - I used to ski up to a dozen weekends per year, so didn't miss the start. However it is GLOBAL warming that is being discussed (CLIMATE), not the local WEATHER in the Victorian Alps. There is no serious debate about whether or not the warming is occurring, or that carbon dioxide is increasing, or that sea levels are rising, or that Arctic sea ice is melting, or that carbon dioxide in the atmosphere suddenly accelerated from the start of the industrial revolution - we can measure these things. The debate (of the few remaining sceptics) is whether the carbon dioxide and the warming are linked - that the first causes the second - and therefore whether humans are causing it and whether it is anomalously rapid as a result. The globe has been warming since the last glacial period, and the 4 km thick ice sheets of Europe melted enough 12,000 years ago for the humans to first venture there from equatorial regions (and fully populate it 9,000 years ago). Any debate is not whether the globe is warming, but whether the rate is more rapid than in the past, and if so, whether it is human-induced. But it does seem off-topic (should be a separate thread).
