Yes, the effects of global warming are fairly obvious even after only a fifteen year gap away from a place. I noticed it on the Stubai glacier at the end of the Stubaital south of Innsbruck in Austria. Ah sure, it's only those pesky sunspots isn't it, and governments full of wise, well meaning people who really care about us will mind us, won't they? They will, won't they? I mean the people do use their votes wisely, don't they? OK they were wrong about that Mr. Hitler, but lightning doesn't strike twice, does it???
