Pesky Climate

Geographical naievity plus days on a bus led to being under prepared for a snow storm in Northern India 2003.
In the foothills of the Himalayas (it seems obvious now) lies Shimla, where once the British govenment types went to escape the heat whilst clinging to the notion of Empire.
They get snow like the British get snow, infrequent and wet!
Here in canada we get slightly more and it hangs around in great bull-dozed piles into the spring.
Do I have a point?
oh yes Tony Blair has hired Al Gore to advise the British government on climate change.
As said before this is probably political expediency, but it cannot hurt, unless you count the thousands of PROPER scientists whom have been warning of climate change for generations but were not in any way famous.....
