That is pure junk science, pay no attention to it, as weather patterns change, and to put the global warming stamp on that is just not valid.
It's the Hegelian Dialectic all over agin...

We live in the real world, so read this informative piece>

The Bush administration's still-secret December 2001 Nuclear Posture Review complained about the "limitations in the present nuclear force" and asserted that "new capabilities must be developed to defeat emerging threats."

"With a more effective earth penetrator," the report claimed, "many buried targets could be attacked using a weapon with a much lower [nuclear] yield than would be required with a surface burst." Of course, "penetrating weapons with large yields" would still be needed for the "defeat of very deep or large underground facilities."

Fast forward>>>>

The notion that terrorists would either need or choose to develop weapons of mass destruction in some remote, impregnable fortress that could only be breached with nuclear weapons is, to say the least, fanciful, even bizarre. Senator Graham must have watched one too many action thrillers on late-night TV. After all, the 9/11 hijackers did not skulk in some remote bunker before they attacked. For months they lived among us and took flying lessons.

A simple terrorist weapon would more likely be developed in some nondescript needle of a basement laboratory, buried within the haystack of one of the world's great mega-cities, than in some fortified Schloss bin Laden. An improvised terrorist device using highly enriched uranium could be smuggled into this country in virtually undetectable segments, and then assembled in any one of 50 million suburban garages.

Ski centres up for sale
Two of Scotland's best known ski centres are being put on the market after losing £1m in two years.
Staff at Glencoe and Glenshee were told on Friday that this would be their last season under the present management.

(RE: your post>Global warming will plunge Britain into new ice age 'within decades')

The Glenshee Chairlift Company blamed the mild winter and lack of snow in recent years.

The Economist magazine issued a warning over the future of skiing in Scotland due to warmer winters and dwindling profits.

The owners said they had lost £500,000 in each of the last two years.

Company spokesman David Whitton said: "The decision has been prompted in part by lack of snow in recent years and the particularly mild winter this year, coupled with a cost base to support seven day opening despite these conditions.

Recent winter seasons have seen Scotland's five ski areas struggle with lack of snow.

Cairngorms campaigner Bill Wright said the future of Scotland's skiing industry appeared far from secure.

He said: "The situation is extremely worrying given that both Glenshee and Glencoe are to go on the market.

"These are pretty dramatic times for downhill skiing and frankly the situation is verging on crisis."

At Glenshee they have built a golf course, with quad biking and mountain biking also growing in popularity.
