WUWT reader David Summers sends this photo along taken a few days ago in 2007 in Australia from a colleague that “returned there for the summer”. I thought it might make a fun photo caption exercise.
Note: This photo as represented to me in email, was supposedly recent.
Thanks to alert WUWT reader “snow captain of queanbeyan” obviously now that is not the case. So much for trusting friendly emails from people. The photo was originally taken in 2007 and you can see the details here.
Still, as originally intended, feel free to make a fun photo caption.
A few years ago I had some Australian friends visiting, we went to a zoo where the Joey’s were jumping around in the snow.
They were amazed and stated that they did not know Joey’s could handle the cold conditions of Europe.
“This is something we will never experience in Australia” they said.
Well, never say never.
I know i saw some Global Warming around here somewhere….
We have to get worried if the Australians have a “white Christmas”.
“Climate change downunder”
“This will shut that damn gecko up!”
“So this is what Wikipedia means by Global Warming!”
Snippy, I know… but I just got done dealing with the fact that the Jevons Paradox page that ought to deal with a HISTORICAL definition has been turned into another Green Langoliers re-write of the past to match The Agenda…
This pains me a great deal (as I’ve been a supporter of the Intellectual Barn Raising aspect of Wiki… My Amish roots and all…) It pains me greatly to have to say that:
To whomever it was that disparaged Wiki, and I came to their defense, I’m sorry, I was wrong and you were right.
BTW, I’ve “ranted” about the Jevons Paradox page rewrite in my edited copy of the wiki page here:
http://chiefio.wordpress.com/2009/05/12/jevons-paradox-coal-oil-conservation/
So for any PRIOR posting of mine that referenced the wiki page, that page no longer exists. The closest I can come is my link just above.
For the future, it would seem that if ANYONE wants to include a wikipedia link to reference something, they first must save the page somewhere so that in the future their pointer does not end up pointing to a re-write that subverts and disparages their position…
Sigh.
How about:
“Maybe if I put a koala in me pouch I’ll be warmer?”
or
“What the HECK is this stuff? They said it was supposed to be WARMER!!!”
“That’s it — I’m moving to Papua New Guinea; maybe it’s still warm there.”
‘ey mate, this sodding weather’s makin’ me hopping mad! (I know, I know, shaddap and leave…)
Those darn Americans put in too many curly light bulbs…
W-w-w-weather izz-z n-n-not k-kk-k-climate!!
I thought up a pretty good caption, but, on further investigation, found that male roos don’t have pouches. Heck, it probably would have gotten trimmed, anyway.
“As the Snow gets Deeper, another Global Warming Skeptic
Considers the Irony of his Exile, by the Consensus at the Kangaroo Court.”
Skippy the country kangaroo contemplates visiting his Uncle Hoppy in town, living toasty warm under a Stevenson screen.
I don’t have a caption……..I’m just looking at the photo and shaking my head roo-fully………..
OT but this seems to be from where DMI ice data comes from
http://saf.met.no/p/quick.html They have both SH and NH ice
and may well be more reliable at this time than other current
satellite ice data which seems all to be out of sync?
DMI remains undaunted and up to date as far as we can see

“Crikey, I think I stepped in some Global Warming”
or
“As the snow gets deeper, another Skeptic considers
the irony of his exile, by the Consensus at the Kangaroo Court.”
By Jingoes! Some whinger has gone and stuffed up my climate!
Must be wonky because of the snow job they are pulling.
I’m heading for the Alice!
Alone and depressed, another climate cretin gets mugged by reality.
Hoppy revels in excitement over his plans to sell his snowflake stash on the carbon offset market.
Funny. How come, that you find the exact same photo illustrating an article of July 2007?

The image seems to have been taken in June 2007, that’s Australian winter two years ago. Snow may or may not still be rare for Australia, but this photo does not seem to be of this year’s Australian summer.
Found via google search for “Australia snow”, right at the top of the page

What’s that, Skip? There’s a plane carrying drugs, and it crashed in the park? No Skip, it’s not cocaine, it’s >snow!

“SNOWBALL FIIIIIIGHT!!”

“Tan me hide when I’m dead, Fred.”
“Has anyone seen my ice drill? Prince Charles and the WWF have partnered with me, Skippy, to launch a pioneering scientific expedition – the Kangaroo Australian Survey – to help determine the lifespan of Australia’s ice cover, but actually I’m doing it for the children. Please send money.”
S-s-sunburned c-c-country, my arse!
