(FTV News Chen Shuhui Comprehensive Report)
Global warming has caused abnormal weather, and on the 3rd, it actually snowed in Kenya, which is located on the equator. Many people who had never seen snow in their lives went up the mountains to watch the spectacle and had a great time.
The scene from the movie "The Gods Must Be Crazy" was reenacted in Kenya on the 3rd, but this time, what fell from the sky was not a bottle of cola. The villagers of Busara in Kenya's Rift Valley woke up on the 3rd to find the mountain tops covered in white. Having only seen snow on TV before, the villagers, young and old, all came out to see it. Schools were closed, factories declared a holiday, and the whole village went up the mountain to enjoy the snow.
Dressed in winter uniforms, the children were busy having snowball fights, while the adults were more practical, first thinking of eating. Having never seen snow in their lives, everyone's reactions were a bit comical.
Some made their own grass shaved ice to eat, but just eating wasn't enough fun, so they used it to cool their heads. Others couldn't bear to eat it, holding it in their hands like gold.
Officials said that more than ten years ago, this area was originally a forest, but due to over-cultivation and deforestation by farmers, now only a few half-dead trees remain on the hills. Environmental degradation has led to abnormal weather. However, faced with a once-in-a-century spectacle, who cares about "An Inconvenient Truth"? It's better to learn from the old man and go home to get a bicycle, and take home boxes of free shaved ice for real.
