Australia: Cold weather smashes records
A bumper start to the ski season, Canberra frozen, snow over the Melbourne hills, widespread severe frost and records are falling. The cold snap is abating slowly, but not before a final icy sting that has seen records fall across the southeast in the last 24 hours. Frost under clear skies last night was severe in much of the inland, notably Canberra’s -5.8 degrees this morning, their coldest for June in nine years. Yesterday, Thredbo reached a high of -6.4 degrees, the coldest maximum recorded in New South Wales for 31 years. Last night, Cabramurra’s minimum fell to a 12 year low of -6.8 degrees. Coastal locations also felt the cold with Montague Island’s mercury levelling out at three degrees last night, their coldest June night in 37 years. Queenslanders have been feeling the cold too, with frosts pushing through the southern inland. Last night Toowoomba recorded -1 and Coolangatta just 2.2 degrees. Tonight Brisbane is next on the current cold blast’s whirlwind tour of the southeast, a minimum of five degrees is forecast, potentially their coldest June night in seven years.ZIMBABWE:

Lack of global warming hits Finland
Aatos Kantanen, who lives in Kyyjärvi in Central Finland, rubbed his eyes when he took a look at his outdoor thermometer at 3.00 a.m. during the night between Saturday and Sunday. The reading was – 10°C. Yes, minus 10.
”Several perennials that have never been affected before were killed by the frost in our garden. For example some common hops (Humulus lupulus) got frostbitten, while the bergenias (Bergenia cordifolia) are looking rather bleak, and the garden bushes have suffered as well”, reports Aatos Kantanen’s wife Pirjo Kantanen, speaking over the phone from her garden in Kyyjärvi on Monday evening.

At the same time, a number of chicks have been found dead in nests as a result of the chilly early summer.
”The smaller the chick and the more open the location of the nest, the more sensitive the young bird is to cold”, reports Teemu Lehtiniemi, the head of conservation and science at BirdLife Finland, the parent organisation of Finnish ornithological societies.
”The cold period has certainly been difficult for terns (Sternidae) nesting on rocky islets and for northern lapwings (Vanellus vanellus) nesting in fields”, Lehtiniemi observes.

The NOAA Climate Prediction Center 8-14 day forecast says it is already shaping up to be a cold June…
Funny how we don't see this on GE-owned/AL Gore's favourite alarmist channels like NBC. HA ha! Keep up the great work!
I live in Cape Town, South Africa and we were told 3 years ago that we would be experiencing the driest winters on record with immediate effect. They have even began telling local farmers they would have to move their farms further east to avoid the dust-bowl like conditions here in the Cape. Since then we have had the 2 wettest winters in the 15 years I have lived here. This winter has already started out wet, but that hasn't stopped our doom-and-gloom minister of environmental affairs! Dust-dry is their story and they sticking to it!
But you will notice, the terminology has been changed from "global warming" to "climate change" so scientists can cover their rear ends when the data doesn't match up to thier predictions.
If we are indeed heading toward an ice age again, then wouldn't it be logical that the governments that have lie, used, and abused us tell us that we are in "global warming" remember it was spoken that at the later days their yes would be no and their no would be yes?
