Good article ... there are many out there

Long story short .... maybe by 2023

NOAA's temperature maps for March April May show that indeed much of Western Canada was well below normal.

But NOAA is not to be believed correct. Their data is made up and they are part of the conspiracy?

It seems as if we have been stuck in a blocking pattern again. Whether this has anything to do with the position of the jet stream I am not sure.

Again you need to look at long term trends when looking at climate change and forget about regional variability in any short term period. If you look at the map you can see that northern asia temperatures have been really above normal. So what is the explanation?

If solar activity is the explanation for cooler than normal weather in North America how do you account for hotter than normal weather in Asia?

Why is the period from 1981-2010 considered normal weather in your opinion? If we went back to 1990 and made the same map but used temperature averages from 1951-1980 what would happen? What if you took temperatures during the 1930’s and compared them to the average temperatures from 1890-1920? The earths environment has existed for millions of years, taking a 30 year window and building your whole outlook around that is like walking into a quarter section of wheat grabbing one head and believing that is the answer!

It would be interesting to see that data and maps from a longer period to be sure. NOAA has that but probably doesn't include as much satellite temperature data for the whole earth.

Let’s see data on GDD from those “hot” areas
It is cooler than normal in much of western Canada due to low climate forcing and its effect of the jet stream .
Long term trends ??? Look at the past million years of data related to sun spot activity
Mauder minimum is a great example of real cause and effect.
Historical data don’t lie , future predictions based of computer climate models with input data admitted to being tampered with do give a false narrative.
Not denying climate change , actually no one can , but what’s the main driver and what’s the cause ..... 🌞
But for all the extreme b/s that our growing seasons are now longer and we will have to grow warm season crops and more drought resistant crops was all pure b/s for us in western Canada , proof is in the real data and temps from above posts . And the past two growing seasons .
Yes other parts of the globe may be warming but others are also cooling
The variations are majority controlled by the suns activity and particle forcing
Mans influence is real , but minor in the big picture as you say .
Also peoplekinds influence over climate has been greatly exaggerated , much like a lot of issues today that are purely agenda driven and full of political grandstanding

Farm 101 do you have a graph for June heat units for all of Western Canada?
My guess is about 20% below average .
July not ramping up yet

I'll just put this up here. Western Canada is a big place

[furrowtickler]

That works , thx

Read the last line of the fine print about accuracy.

They don't keep day to day records when yu get away from the urban areas.
