Global Warming Paralyzes Greece

Algore was unavailable for comment.

Huge areas of Greece have been hit by a freak snowstorm that has left hundreds of villages stranded, closed schools, and caused dozens of flights to be cancelled.

Even the sunshine island of Crete was blanketed in snow today as the usually mild country was gripped by a second day of severe winter weather.

Schools and university have been shut throughout the country as famous sights like the Acropopolis were battered by blizzards.

Civil defence authorities are on alert, and problems with power and water supplies have been reported across Greece.

About 200 villages, most on the southern island of Crete, were stranded by the heavy snowfall.

It's a moral crisis.
