Re: Ski resorts affected by climate change

In Europe it's a nightmare for people whose income come from the white gold.
Almost all the ski resorts are closed in the Pyrenees, in the Alps, the snow quality - if there is some snow - is very bad, close to what we usually have in late april.
Yesterday the temperature in Bordeaux was 17°C (62.5F), whereas it should be around 7° (44.5F), and it has been like this since the beginning of january.

Two webcams of Villard de Lans, in the french Alps :




However, the weather forecasts announce cold temperature for next week
