Lie 9: OUR SNOW SEASONS ARE SHORTER 

Wrong. Poor snow falls in 2003 set off a rash of headlines predicting warming doom.

The CSIRO typically fed the hysteria by claiming global warming would strip resorts of up to a quarter of their snow by 2018-always the dire predictions to scare the masses.

Yet the past seven years have been bumper seasons for Victoria's snow resorts, and this year looks to be a topper, with snow already falling in NSW and Victoria this past week. The same is true for resorts in North America.
