Italian Snow Cannons No Match for Climate Change

Source: U.S. News and World ReportMonte Cimone, a popular ski resort in Italy's Apennine Mountains, invested 5 million euros in artificial snowmaking before the winter season in an attempt to stave off the impact of global warming, but the money was largely wasted. The snow cannon proved useless because the water droplets they fire into the air need freezing weather for them to fall to the ground as snow, and until mid-January the temperature was never cold enough.
