Remember the predictions up to 10 years ago that global warming would end the ski industry in Australia? In fact snow was to be off the agenda in England and much of the U.S.

Andrew Bolt writes:

In May 2008, the CSIRO’s warmists warned of vanishing snow:

Scientists say Australian skiers should prepare for shorter ski seasons because of global warming… CSIRO climate change expert Dr Penny Whetton says Australia’s mountain snow cover could be reduced by up to 54 per cent by 2020.

In August 2008, skiers were snowed in:

CARS buried at Falls Creek and Mt Buller, others abandoned on the Kosciuszko Rd and Alpine Way, massive snow drifts up high at Perisher and Thredbo, blizzard conditions, snowfall accumulations in excess of 40cm. As the big dump continues Friday, skiers are looking up at the scoreboard – with a 2m season well within our sights….Clearly, July 2008 has delivered the best consistent skiing conditions since the great 2004 season – and there is potential for a cold and snowy peak month of August.

And now, in June 2011, the snow has only got better:

Every major resort is opening lifts for the start of the ski season and this is set to be the biggest opening weekend in more than a decade.

Is there something wrong with the CSIRO’s models?
