Global warming dumps snow on Mediterranean islands
In its inexorable march toward making the Earth too hot too handle, global warming has once again shown how vicious it can be, this time dumping snow on a Mediterranean island that hasn't seen snow in decades.
The Italian island of Capri, meanwhile, woke up to its first snowfall in 25 years, said Luciano Garofano, an official in the mayor's office. Street cleaners in the chic tourist destination in the Gulf of Naples doused the town's streets with boiling water to melt the ice. Snow also coated beaches on the neighboring island of Ischia, whose thermal waters attract visitors all year round.
It's clear the planet can't take much more of this hellish heat!
