Same demonstration next year. There are less snow.

And a year later, in 2007. No Snow! Global warming? I don't believe in that kind of stuff. Man-made global warming is a lie that is made official in order to develop new business and to limit the rapid growth of developing countries.
Do you really want to buy those expensive LED lamps?
