where's the promised Saskatchewan drought? It's been moister than (insert noun here) in Moose Jaw this year.... can I get a dry weekend now?

TheShavingofOccam123: What? No two week surfing season in BC? Dammit. I was so there.

I have a friend who grew up in Vancouver. He went home for Christmas to surf.

All I have to say is that Canada is way too big of a landmass to really have weather generalizations be valid.

Except for ones related to latitude I suppose.

Ecaps: Canadian living in Taiwan who is about the visit Canada in a few days.

Honestly, if the weather is cool, I'll be quite content.

It was over 40 degrees in Taiwan today.

Alex Dave Canada?

My story today:

Zumaki: My story today:

You harvested your weed, your car smelled really bad and you were angry because it was 200 degrees?

You know it is farking cold in July when, at a pool party, everyone is standing around the BBQ to keep warm.

Great for sleeping at night...it was 9C here in SW Ontario. Sucks to be an air conditioner salesperson!!

It's been over a 100 Farking degrees Fahrenheit for about a month here in Oklahoma. We've had enough Summer. Canada can have it.

You're still allowed to drink tequila when it's cold, right?

Playerslight: Joe_diGriz: And there are still people who are trying to convince us OMG!! GLOBAL WARMING IS HERE!!!


/am i doing it right?

I think I've heard the "global-warming my ass" argument at least 3 or 4 times in the last week from people who I've never heard comment on the issue. Does anyone have a clever, succinct response that I can give them in 10 seconds without having to get into explaining anecdotal vs theoretical vs statistically valid vs measurable etc etc etc?. I want to be able to use it when it's really hot or really cold).

You might want to explain how the theory of anthropogenic global warming could ever be *falsified*. When people hear both warmer weather and cooler weather being explained by AGW, this naturally generates skepticism. If the theory is correct, it doesn't help that it's being trotted out to explain absolutely every little variation in the climate.

I admit, I far prefer the temperatures this year to sweltering 35C + humidity. Still two months to go...

Summer? We haven't had spring yet.

All you complaining it's too hot in the South? You'd be wearing parkas right now. It was a grand high of 15oC (60oF) in Montreal today and last night was below 10oC (below 50). It was great for moving but now it just plain sucks. We moved into a ground floor place with a backyard we've barely used and a basement that flooded for the first time in 10 years because of the crazy non-stop rain we've been having.

Sucked for our huge Jazz fest too. Couldn't really go for lack of ark building supplies and noseplugs

/Still packed away

Um, you live in Canada? Move, maybe?

I'm going out on a limb here and guessing no one has said this: Global Warming?


God I'm original.

but, world temperatures are rising, right?

Al Gore lied to me :(

VimFuego: I wish every summer was like this.

But Algore has promised Global Warming, so you have that going for you.

/What? It's a crock of shiat? Oh.

95% of scientists concur (vehemently, mind you) that global warming works all the time.

when more and more facts stack up against your global government plan, just pull numbers out of your ass.

fact is, there is an increasing backlash of scientists and climatologists debunking "man made climate change" as bad science. Many were coerced into backing it to get grants: if you were studying squirrels, it was easier to get a grant if you studied glowball warmage's effect on them, and came up with the conclusion, yup, glowball warmage is killing teh squirrels. However, the realization that trends are actually COOLING, due to solar activity, and Gore's bullshiat CO2 is having zero effect, and the fact that all scientists who continue with this charade will be exposed as frauds, liars and bad scientists, has led many many (32k just signed a letter denouncing glowbal warmage as junk science. http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2008/05/are_32000_scientists_enough_to.html )

so how does your 95% stack up to that?

the TOP climatologists, who have nothing to fear for speaking out, have been raging about the government push for glowball warmage controls over our entire lives and the fact it's a fraud.

Funny how anecdotal evidence works to PROVE glowball warmage/now climate change, but not the other way around. The polar icecaps are getting THICKER, temps are dropping worldwide for 8 years, so the SMART scientists are dropping Gore's World like a hot potato.

Unfortunately for the alarmists, reality is catching up with their bullshiat.

docweasel

Does the Oregon Petition still have Dr. M. Mouse listed? Or Dr. Hawkeye Pierce?

Also, Carbon Dioxide as a greenhouse gas has been empirically known for over 150 years. Hell, your entire spiel is non-science based denialist talking points that have been shown to be false numerous times. It's gotten so bad that New Scientist put together an article that links ACTUAL science to explain just how wrong you are. (new window)

If actual science is not enough to explain how incorrect you are, try the climate change pages at NOAA.gov, NASA.gov, and royalsociety.org. In addition, IPCC.ch and realclimate.org have a lot of the same information simplified, with realclimate being run by actual published climatologists that attempt to explain new occurances on the subject in more simplistic terms.

I wonder if this is going to be like smoking, with people denying the effect 20 or 30 years after the state of research reached the nigh on impossible to disprove. Which the science on this particular subject reached about 4 years ago.

Playerslight: Does anyone have a clever, succinct response that I can give them in 10 seconds without having to get into explaining anecdotal vs theoretical vs statistically valid vs measurable etc etc etc?

how about this: when it is unseasonably warm and you say that is because of global warming, can you explain the anecdotal vs theoretical vs statistically valid etc etc to your self?

On Friday the forecasted low for Phoenix is 93. the Low.

So now local warming means global warming?

People who trash anecdotal evidence are probably the same people who biatch about smokers while outdoors, gripe about people who don't wear seatbelts, whine about having to FF through trailers on dvds...that sort of thing. IOW, insufferable douchebags.

like people that whine about others on Fark?

it may have been said already, but i dont care.
If you live in Toronto, you're extra-screwed. I don't care who's wrong and who's right, but the f*cking garbage / city workers strike is pissing me off. No public swimming pools, the ferry to toronto island is closed, day care centers are closed so there are 10x the number of rug rats running around unattended, and of course, garbage. lots and lots of garbage.

/i take consolation in the fact that the striking workers get paid something like $50/day to strike, so any advances tehy might make in pay will be redundant for a year or so as they make up for the pay they lost picketing.

GAT_00: Send some of that cold my way and I'll send you back the 35C weather I get today. Humidity too if you want it.

Bring it.

DasRaven: As have my fellow Phoenix residents, I'd like to invite you all to STFU and GBTW.
