Huge snow dumps delight skiers - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

Victoria's northern ski resorts have received one of their biggest ever 24-hour snow dumps, and more is expected today.

Fifty-four centimetres of snow has fallen at Falls Creek in the past day.

It is the biggest August dump ever recorded.

Stilling said consecutive harsh winters have dropped the pronghorn numbers to about 6,500, a number that had been consistently higher than 10,000 since 2003.

“We need to give these populations the opportunity to recover,” he said. “The last thing pronghorn need is another severe winter.”

Anglican Communion News Service: "Climate change will kill more Africans than malaria or AIDS," Anglican church warned

The continent of Africa is facing a future in which climate change will kill more people than traditional causes such as malaria and HIV, according to a Ugandan environmental expert.

Dr Rose Mwebaza warned Anglican bishops from Africa in Entebbe that lakes across the continent are shrinking and drying up, crops are failing, deforestation is leading to terrible flooding and, as a result, people are fighting and killing each other over resources.
