Oh Oh Kenney got caught

Are you saying there is a conspiracy happening with all the temp measuring devices as well?

Haven't you heard? Al Gore has a team of undercover operatives that go round the thermometer factory changing the wee numbers on the scales, lol.

Absolutely that is what im saying
Most of the temps are recorded in the cities
They have been caught more than once

Al gore what an inspiration

I have a tendency to look at real examples around me. One thing the frost has gone down farther than in most years. A neighbour has a steamer which he has been running for the last month virtually non stop thawing out frozen sewers. My one neighbour built his house in 1997 and this is the first year he has had a frozen sewer, had to have it steamed out twice. Certainly I think part of the problem was lack of snow cover until it started snowing in late January(although obviously our first snowfall was back in early September). But February was one cold son of a bitch!

As for financing government in Alberta I certainly think the fact that we continue to spend all of our non renewable resource to fund daily operations instead of saving some of this for future generations is unforgivable. Personally I happen to agree with Horse that Alberta needs a sales tax. I am certainly not a socialist and I consider myself a fiscal conservative and a social libertarian. The fact remains that most government spending goes to supply services to us and we should pay for it.

"A second weather topic that cropped up once again is the whole idea that since we (much of southern Canada and the northern U.S.) have been so cold, how on earth can there be global warming? I don’t know how many times I must argue this point: the key word here is “global,” not North America, not Canada, not Manitoba warming! In an article a few years ago, I discussed how you can visualize the cold air around the Earth’s poles as a blob of goo. The cold air sags southward and is pushed northward depending on several different factors. The key to this visualization or analogy is that there is only so much of the goo, or cold air. If cold air is allowed to sag southward in one part of the world, as we saw across North America in February, then it’s likely that warm air surged northward in another part of the world. Looking back at February, this is exactly what we find.

As the core of arctic air shifted into the Hudson Bay region in February, bringing some of the coldest weather we have seen in the last 20 years, across a large part of Europe very unseasonably warm air moved in, breaking numerous records for early-season heat. In North America, during the cold snap, three all-time record lows were recorded, as shown in Table 1 (above).

In contrast, during the final few days of February (Feb. 26-28), several stations either tied or broke not just station records but national monthly records, as shown in Table 2 (below).

Of interest, on Feb. 27, the mean monthly temperature for all of France was 21.3 C, which was the warmest February day on record.

Europe was not the only place to see record heat. Looking at the Southern Hemisphere, New Zealand and Australia ended up seeing record-breaking heat during their summer. While not a lot of all-time records were broken, the heat was continuous and long lasting. January ended up being the warmest month ever recorded for Australia, while the December-to-February period (summer) saw a mean temperature that was 2.14 C above average, shattering the previous record set in 2012-13 by nearly 0.7 C. Things were also very warm across Chile in early February, with 10 all-time records broken from Feb. 1 to 4. Thanks to Christopher C. Burt and the WeatherUnderground for these stats.

So, remember, while we might feel like we are the whole world, we are not — and while we were cold, a much larger part of the planet was way warmer than we were cold."

Mother nature threw a real f$&k into the plans of the scammers this winter . Pretty hard to blame one of the coldest winters on record on global warming ,although they did try ! Its falling down all around them , fun to watch!

Caseih, why do you think the weather in your backyard or even western Canada is indicative of the weather in the entire planet? Didn't mallee's posts of record high temperatures at least make you pause and think that maybe it is not cold in the entire world even though North America is?

Now 4 separate agencies have just released the data showing global average temperatures for February 2019 was amongst the amongst the 5th warmest February on record. How do you explain that given your claim of one of the coldest winters on record?

And if your claim that it was one of the coldest winters on record, why is measured sea ice in the Arctic in February nearly 6% less than the 30 year average between 1981 and 2010 and Antarctic ice is over 13 % less than the same 30 year average?

Given this actual data, could you please provide the proof you have to make the claim it was "one of the coldest winters on record" and "it (global warming??) is falling down all around them"



Thanks

dml, run your little chart back another couple million years and you will see that carbon spiked to 400 ppm before humans were even here. It did that a half dozen times before that. Not uncharted territory at all. Earth is still here and had several ice ages since.

But man wasn't here millions of years ago! Western Canada was an inland sea - would it real tough farming on the prairies if we had the conditions that existed a couple of million years ago.! Volcanic eruptions where much more prevalent, spewing out all all kinds of greenhouse gasses. Sea levels were much higher. I cannot believe you are suggesting that communities and societies could adapt to the environment that was on earth millions of years ago.

Interesting,just watched global Calgary news the meteorologist had December,January and February 6 degrees average below normal .

There is nothing "normal" about temperatures. Just averages. Drives me crazy when the TV meteorologists report "normal" temperatures.

Once weather and resistant viruses/bacteria clean out the humans worldwide, it'll return to normal.
