Snow in March'

Snow in March, it has became a common thing over here.
Or at least, for me it has.
2 March 2005, it snowed. If I remembered correctly, on some places there was even 50cm of snow. Now that's not something usual for The Netherlands.
When I decided to talk a walk around my street to make some footage of the beautifull scenery with my camera, I found my feets disolving into the thick pack of snow.
2 March 2006, exactly one year later, it snowed again. Can you believe that? But this time not as much as in '05. I decided to record this strange yet beautifull phenomenon with my camera again.
March 2007, I can't really remember if it snowed. I don't think it has though. To be honest, 2007 was kind of a blurry year for me. But looking back at my camera tapes, I didn't filmed any snow in March'07.
March 2008, yesterday and the day before yesterday and the day before the day of yesterday it snowed. A white Easter.

So snow in March has became a common thing for me.
Why is it snowing in March? Or, why has it been snowing frequently in March these past few years? Some say climate change.
And why is the climate changing? Some say it's us, the people whose causing it. Some say it's just the nature. Some say it's both.

During highschool, I wrote a 20-page paper about Climate Change. And from the information I gathered, I think that it is both. But one way or the another, I don't think you can deny the fact that the world is being polluted

So in the end it doesn't really matter what the cause is. Fact is, the world is being polluted by humans. So it doesn't hurt to "pollute less".
I'm glad this whole 'climate change - save the world'-thing has become a hype. Most of the time you shouldn't believe the hype. But this time the hype is true.
