Coldest temp anomaly in the WORLD...here

I can just imagine the US if Clinton had won. Carbon tax imposed ASAP, directly deposited into the Clinton Foundation. So cool!

Great points. Al Gore would likely be director of the EPA instead of Scott Pruitt.

Scary thoughts.....

So Chuck your break from agriville means you went and bought a solar power system and installed it.

Scary indeed - imagine actually having a person with some knowledge of the role he is appointed to? Unlike the rest of the buffoons and corporate shills Trump surrounds himself with. Just today Pruitt is rumoured to be on his way out after a controversy about his associations with corporate lobbyists for Big Oil. The radio interview with the US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer this morning I thought was an April fools joke when he swore at the host and hung up because he wasn't getting his own way in the discussion over NAFTA. Their whole administration is looking like an April 1st windup.
In contrast I must say I have a tremendous respect for Rona Ambrose in her role on the NAFTA advisory council, setting aside partisan politics in the interests of seeing Canada getting the best deal possible - and clearly of the opinion that Canada has played it's hand as well as could be expected given the instability and lack of negotiating experience of the Trump administration. I think the PC party will rue the day they elected Scheer - would have been far better with Ambrose.

So Chuck now that you have surfaced I sure would like to hear your opinion on the Port of Churchill and if you see a future there in this warming world?

"Wait a minute, doesn't 1843 predate the anthropocene when humans caused all the warming? Must be a typo, we all know Glaciers were stable before CAGW."

At least a 50 years before the FIRST internal combustion engine, case closed TOTAL F*CKING BULLSHIT, no human caused GLOBAL WARMING, thanks!
And if you think -30 is NOT adding to glaciers you are a moron!

"Here are a couple of clues in the debate. Global refers to the entire globe not just Saskatchewan or the Prairies"

So what! 1 million are going to save 7 billion, grow up! Save ourselves from TAX!

When diggers find a wooly cc. with a gut full of freshly chewed munchies, we will know his demise didn't happen during a slow global cooling phase.

The snow pack we got going on in our area may well be the start of new phase of glaciation.

The Colombia ice fields are still shrinking and have shrunk 1.5 kilometres (10m per year on average) since 1843. I don't think this qualifies as evidence of an equal chance of global warming or an imminent ice age. Wouldn't you expect glaciers to be at least stable or growing if we are heading into another ice age?

And how would we know exactly how big the Colombia Ice Fields were in 1843?

Human observation, experience and records. Same thing that brought people to the New World. With the skeptic line of thinking European settlers would never have come here - wouldn't have believed the reports of the lands existence from early explorers and wouldn't have believed the earth wasn't flat. Would have stayed home for fear of sailing over the edge. Thankfully knowledge triumphed over ignorance then but not so much now apparently.

Indian measurements.
