August in the North Okanagan was bone dry, we've had a few damp days in Sept. but only one or two where we've had substantial rain, like more than 5 or 10 mm. 1/2 hour down pours don't do a hell of a lot!

I wish the experts would make up their minds- Is the earth warming or cooling? I know Antarctica and Greenland are warming, but what about the rest of the world where PEOPLE actually live?

The Okanagan has always been dry and will go back to how dry it was before every bit of farmable land was irrigated creating a microclimate in the Cascade/Coast Mountain rain shadow.

Antarctica has been getting colder by 0.1C very decade since the 1940s.

It's easy to get people to believe in AGW when you flat out lie.

Do you believe it's the warmest era on record? Would you feel better if you knew "the record" was compiled of sparse records that only go back 150 years to the end of the coldest point in the past 10,000 year going by the Geological record thanks to sunspots being non-existent for 400 years prior?

In the past 33 years solar radiation has started to diminish again leading to the past 18 years of warming flat lining.

You my run across an idiot who will say " if the sun is dimming why did it temperatures climb over those 33 years?" Well sir, since you wren't born after 1982 you can look back 33 years to when we had the acid rain panic. Sulpher emissions in the form of SO2 have been hacked so rapidly to the point it impacted climate just as rapidly. It was known back then that we'd be warming as a result which was taken advantage of and used to incite more panic after seeing how people rallied against acid rain.

As for why the Antarctic is cooling and he arctic warming that would be from the northern magnetic pole migrating rapidly north dragging the northern jet streams and ocean currents along for the ride with the south pole not moving as drastically.

There may be another factor that the north pole is melting more than the south pole is.
On Mars the opposite is true: As I remember the south pole is melting more than the north pole?

I think: it is only an idea: this is due to the north pole of Earth confronts the sun more than the south pole does; while for Mars the opposite is true.

While the Global Warmth is the rule for all the earth in general, because the Earth gets somewhat nearer to the Sun.

Was a chilly 4° here this morning at 5:30. I put on a sweater before I went and fed the chickens. Global cooling.

Keep guessing, selfsame. You may get something right one of these decades.

We were at about 6C here this morning. It looks like we may get through Sept. w/o frost, which I think is fairly unusual. Beautiful here today. I suppose technically you have to have one frost before you have Indian Summer. Whatever this is called I'll take it. :)

hehe

Frost is kind of a pain. I don't mind snow so much because it's an excuse for me to hop in the Bobcat and go play in the snow on the driveway. Playing in snow is fun.

Are you sure that is a balloon and not a Martian?

OK, when we get a big dump up here I'll get you to come up and have some fun in this snow. :) I can do quite well w/o it. I shovelled for three days straight last winter.

But but but the arctic has been ice free since 2006 remember?

Actually, it was 2012.

I have done some calculations on how long Canada has been cooling.

Agassiz, BC = no warming
Toronto since 1998 = 17 years

Kamloops, BC since 1997 = 18 years (in line with global satellite data)

Fort Simpson, NWT since 1993

Shawnigan Lake (on Vancouver Island) since 1986
Penticton, BC since 1986
Vancouver = since 1986

Calgary since 1980

Smithers, BC since 1979

Tatlayoko Lake, BC since records began in 1930

Are you insinuating global warming is a myth? That would be good news. I've been on the planet since 1943, and I've haven't got the sense there's been much of a difference in that time. Just fluctuations up and down from year to year. The winter of '49-'50 was a bitch as was '68-'69, the summer of '58 was a scorcher.

Oops, typo. I meant to say there's been no cooling at Agassiz. There was warming, but it hasn't warmed in 18 years and 8 months according to RSS satellite data, and 18 years and 4 months according to UAH satellite data.

Anyway, are you saying that the social justice warriors at the IPCC/UN would try to raise alarmist rhetoric about the amount of warming that has happened?

Our last snowfall melted a little and then froze. So we have an ice-age here.
