According to CBC Newsworld, the snow pack between Jasper and Canmore Alberta is deeper than it was last year.

No, a new study is linking the polar vortex and California's drought to climate change.According to CBC Newsworld, the snow pack between Jasper and Canmore Alberta is deeper than it was last year.

Sorry for the riddle, I'll complete it.That's some good science, there. Have you submitted to Nature, for peer review?
BC Glacier Melt Is Rapid, Unprecedented, and a Big Climate Change Issue
The mountains of British Columbia cradle glaciers that have scored the landscape over millenia, shaping the rugged West Coast since long before it was the West Coast.
But they're in rapid retreat, and an American state-of-the-union report on climate change has singled out the rapid melt in British Columbia and Alaska as a major climate change issue.
"Most glaciers in Alaska and British Columbia are shrinking substantially," said the U.S. National Climate Assessment, released last week to much fanfare south of the border.
"This trend is expected to continue and has implications for hydropower production, ocean circulation patterns, fisheries, and global sea level rise."
According to the report, glaciers in the region are losing 20 to 30 per cent of what is melting annually from the Greenland Ice Sheet, which has received far more worldwide attention.
That amounts to about 40 to 70 gigatons per year, or about 10 per cent of the annual discharge of the Mississippi River.
"The global decline in glacial and ice-sheet volume is predicted to be one of the largest contributors to global sea-level rise during this century," the report said.
It is some of the fastest glacial loss on Earth. The cause: rising temperatures due to climate change.
"We've seen an acceleration of the melt from the glaciers," said Brian Menounos, a geography professor at the University of Northern British Columbia and one of the scientists involved in cross-border, multi-agency research into glacial loss.
That's a big one, bad for hydro stations, farming, etc but the big one is this one.Oh oh.

Last week saw a 'holy shit' moment in climate change science. A landmark report revealed that the collapse of a large part of Antarctica is now unstoppable
Unless you purchase offsets.If your live in more than 2,500 sq ft or your car has more than 4 cylinders you don't really believe in climate change....
That's just rich people giving themselves a pass - like that Gore guy who flew around the world in a private jet doing a ppt presentation....Unless you purchase offsets.
It`s funny how you keep wanting to have the same debate over and over again.Cue moviefan2 to say he has a report that says its cold out today and therefore we don`t have to worry....
Excellent point.Depends where you get your news.

Thanks for confirming you don`t know what you`re talking about.It`s funny how you keep wanting to have the same debate over and over again.

Actually, the report I cited that showed there are enormous flaws with the computer-model predictions came from the United Nations` International Panel on Climate Change. I`m sure you`ve heard of it.
