Russia has flown a team of chemical experts to a Siberian region to find out why smelly, coloured snow has been falling over several towns.

Oily yellow and orange snowflakes fell over an area of more than 1,500sq km (570sq miles) in the Omsk region on Wednesday, Russian officials said.

Chemical tests were under way to determine the cause, they said.
Residents have been advised not to use the snow for household tasks or let animals graze on it.

"So far we cannot explain the snow, which is oily to the touch and has a pronounced rotten smell," said Omsk environmental prosecutor Anton German, quoted by the Russian news agency Itar-Tass on Thursday.

we get so wrapped up in global warming that we forget about pollution.

:shrug:

but 'oily'? weird. :scared:

This is thought to be a possible solution to global warming. Maybe China, Russia or the US is doing some tests.

Maybe Bush thinks if he can stop global warming then he won't have to admit it existed.

Doesn't sound right, though.

I wonder what form of pollution control, if any, is required in this part of the world.
