Austrian Ice
Oops, now Global Warming not to blame for this? Can they ever get it right?
The fabled snows of Tanzania's Mount Kilimanjaro may not succumb to global climate change as quickly as scientists had feared. A joint Austrian-U.S. research team that took seven years of measurements from weather stations atop Africa's tallest mountain says that its ice fields will be around for another 30 to 40 years /snip/ The research team found new evidence showing that lower precipitation—and not rising temperatures on the summit—is the main cause for the Kilimanjaro glaciers' retreat.

From National Geographic too, start spin NOW!!!!!
Thanks for the up-date over the glacier, but even George Bush is admitting publicly that America has to reduce the greenhouse gasses emitted in the US. Some people could say that is a Liberal view point, and he is flip flopping now.

Snow Golf Introduction
Snow golf is a sport based on golf but played over snow (or ice) instead of grass. The "greens" are called "whites" and have an ice surface.
As for classic golf the origin of snow golf is thought to be the Dutch game of "Kolf" that was played since the middle ages. Evidence for Kolf as a popular winter pastime comes from numerous 17th century paintings by renowned artist such as Aert van der Neer or Hendrick Avercamp.
The discovery of modern snow golf is credited to Rudyard Kipling, living in Vermont in the 1890's who was an avid golfer. While writing his famous book The Jungle Book, Kipling relaxed by playing snow golf during winter.
The annual World Ice Golf Championship has been held on the world's nothernmost gilf course on the shelf ice near Uummannaq, Greenland since 1997. The course is shaped new by the moving ice every year and play is highly dependent on weather conditions. Competitors are allowed at handicap 36 or below. Because of the extreme temperature clubs with graphite shafts are not recommended.
The First SnowGolf Championship in Argentina has been held in Cerro Castor, Ushuaia since 2007, by José García Daroca.
The first ever Snowgolf World Championship for amateurs was carried out in January 2007 in Abtenau, Austria. With Adi Hengstberger from Germany, the first Snowgolf World Champion was founded. The event is hosted as a major Austrian celebrity event and sponsored by the state of Salzburg as part of the touristic scheme. The second Snowgolf World Championship took place in Obertauern, Austria. Thanks to the “Million Dollar Putt” contest, the official Championship on playing golf on snow title was the biggest prize for an amateur golf event in the world up to now. Alongside amateur competitors, many big names from sport and showbiz were trying to sink their “Million Dollar Putt” for important causes - “Wings for Life“ (Spinal Cord Research Foundation) and “Eagles Charity Golf Club“. In the end nobody could pull off the big putt, and the prize remains unclaimed until the next championship. Adi Hengstberger (D) retained his 2007 title. The runners-up were Tristan David (Philippines) and Peter Dobrowolsky (Austria). The new women’s World Champion was Sarah Hölzl (Austria).
