Caption this photo

Roo_snow

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 queanbeyanobviously 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.

The photo above is from a public service advertisement in the near future… As Skippy the Roo shivers he says,
“Only YOU can prevent cooling. Remove all your curly lightbulbs and buy the biggest gas-guzzler you can afford. Drill more now. Do it for the wallabies.”

Jeremy, that grizzly picture has one more surprise… when you zoom in, it appears that the roo is holding a human head in it’s front paws… just try it… Oh the humanity.

After his sudden accidental death, the British judge who used Jim Hansen’s data to exonerate eco-terrorists is surprised to discover God’s sense of humour when he finds himself reincarnated.

To the left and to the right of Skippy the Roo you can just make out the ears of the two other roos who have been frozen to the tundra. Skippy’s only hope is that the twin otter sent by Prince Charles will arrive in time to extract him alive. Oh yeah and to extract the other two also.

I went to a presentation in Oz recently and was told how Australia will be first to be hit by severe warming and disaster and some of the worse effected!

Les Francis (17:57:37) :
Sorry that last post should state that Hobart, the capital city of tasmania has an overlooking mountain that regular sees summer snow.
That’s Mt Wellington, I know Aussie mountains are vertically challenged by world standards but the view from Mt Wellington is breathtaking. When you can see down that is. 🙂

“Hello … where is everybody!? I’m here for the ‘global warming’ summit.”

This one is not fair. It is indeed the beginning of the Australian winter. …ya know they are in the SOUTHERN hemisphere. So saying the guy was going there to return there for the summer is silly. It is their very late fall. I scanned the comments and no one seems to says this. Their official winter starts at the end of June…so it is more than normal for snow there this time of the year.
But please DO NOTE that the NSIDC ice build-up “down-under” is getting bigger and bigger and bigger. I am sure those ice shelves that were supposed to break-off and make the sea level rise are now mending quite nicely as ice is now very much above “normal”….just like last year.
