Farmers in Tacna will also be aided with a multi-million-sol fund that is to help them after their cattle died because of cold weather.

In other regions such as Cusco, a state of emergency has been declared because of extremely low temperatures.

In Puno, 39 children under the age of five have lost their lives because of pneumonia. In this region alone, there have been 65,000 cases of respiratory infections and 750 cases of pneumonia.

So the NOAA sends out a press release claiming it is still warming, that June/July 2008 is so far one of the warmest on record.

Exactly WHERE is it warm? I've not seen any report of unusually warm weather ANYWHERE. Only the opposite.
