Canada hits highest ever recorded temperature!

[mandrill]

Yes, it is business as usual. The temperature records are supposed to be breaker because of the volatility. Always having "usual" weather is unusual.

No. Climate this year is not normal. Usually you get 1 or 2 days a year that might break a half-degree above a record set twenty years ago. THAT'S normal.

But so far, Texas has frozen in January. Toronto had fucking SNOW in late April. And BC currently has temperatures which are TEN fucking degrees above FUCKING normal. That's fucked!!!!

The highest temperature I have ever firggin' noticed is 35 or 36. Vancouver is in the fucking FORTIES!!!! That's not fucking normal.

I have to post this again, this is the height of 'not normal'.
The entire north hemisphere is divided in four heat domes and four cold zones.

 

[oil&gas]

That's a really lame evasion from someone who normally swaggers around these threads making jokes about Thunberg. Why don't you just admit that the climate is fucked and that shit will get weirder and nastier from here on in, while you oil guys keep raking in the cash?

Apparently you knew the answer to your question already and just wanted
to find out if I am in agreement with you. I think where people stand on the
climate issue doesn't matter much as business will be as usual
even if they admit that the climate is fucked. People
will still be cooling their residence 24 hr a day in the heat and paying big
oil willingly at the gas pump. Big oil will have to step up drilling sooner or
later to increase supply and bring down oil price even if they know the
climate is fucked or people will attack them for making a lot of money.
Emission will continue growing in Canada after Trudeau is reelected on
the promise of net-zero emission by 2050. Greta will carry on her attacks
on world leaders relentlessly (and selectively). And those politicians she
picks on will be all too happy to respond with more vows of fighting
climate change in the future to win votes. More school strikes for
climate on the street will be instigated by the attention whore of the century
when hopefully the lock down is lifted in the fall. A few of the striking teens
may bring the matter to the federal court. Most of them
will nonetheless be happy to get their driver's license by grade 12.

Seriously what really matters is how we live our life as
an Earth citizen. Until last Saturday I still tried to have
air-conditioning turned off for as much as 12 hr a day.
I have cut down expenses on many items to reduce
carbon footprint. That doesn't have anything to do
with climate change. One doesn't have to believe
in it to be environmentally conscious.

Dude!.....

I know dick about climate science. All you had to say to "win" this argument with me is "It's perfectly normal. It's the Hyper-frigidity Vortex Effect, discovered by Professor Dickhead in 1953. Here's the link"... and I go "Oh wow! Really! I'll go read your link."

The rant doesn't impress me. I simply assume that you have no point to make.

Yeah, the Brits are complaining that it's bizarrely super-cold there.

 

[Phil C. McNasty]

But so far, Texas has frozen in January. Toronto had fucking SNOW in late April

So if earth is warming, how can it be so cold in Texas then??

Yeah, the Brits are complaining that it's bizarrely super-cold there

So earth is warming, yet its bizarrely super-cold there??!!

 

[Robert Mugabe]

Yeah, the Brits are complaining that it's bizarrely super-cold there.

I was looking at the weather there.13 degrees and rain. Love it. I see on some travel shows Scotland is always grey. rainy and windy. Love it. I think I will retire there if this shit keeps up. One thing, of many, holding me back is lack of Chinese hookers there.

Then go to the west coast of Denmark. Cold, windy and wet. The girls are prettier.

Nice. On my bucket list.

Yeah, this heat dome isn't just the west coast, though that's the most severe.

I find the research of Mr Dickhead has been overlooked. For his time his insights were really quite advanced.

I know right... they use the word "warming"... but snow and ice still exists. Clearing it's a Liberal hoax. As if you can have different temps, in different places? Pffft! Who is really going to add them all up and carefully monitor the trends over time... and make some conclusions.

And the Jet Stream! As if... some magic wing tunnel brings cold arctic air to one place, but not another. If this "warming" were true, there would be no cold arctic air. Its in the name. "Warming!" Why would they say that... they are just brainwashing children in schools. That's all. With their words. And science.

Look... I am holding a snow ball!

Because the warming trend has disrupted the air currents and the pressure systems, leading to bizarre climate effects.

Lots written about this, Phil. Here I am, a guy who never posts in these threads and even I know this stuff.

Totally normal, every year there are mass deaths from heat in BC, right?

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/bc-heat-wave-heat-dome-sudden-deaths-1.6084873

And totally normal to have forest fires in June, especially after the area had the hottest temp in Canada ever recorded.
Who didn't know that Lytton, BC has experienced a higher record heat than Las Vegas.

And you just go along with whatever the experts tell you.
Because so many scientists can never be wrong, right??

Its not like there's any money or politics involved.
No, not at all

I'm telling you, global warming is an exaggerated pile of bullshit.
There's a guy named John Christy who used to work for the IPCC and finally went against the grain to call it what it is.
Read about him here: https://www.desmog.com/john-christy/

He also became ostracized by the scientific community for telling the truth.
So he paid a big price, but to him it was worth it

Dumbest.response.ever.

CO2 levels are currently around 418ppm. 100 years ago they were at about 300 ppm.
So in 100 years they've gone up only 100 ppm: https://www.co2levels.org/

We have another 50 years of oil left before it runs out. That means we'll be around 600 ppm by 2070.
Lets be conservative and say it'll be at 700 ppm.

700 PARTS PER MILLION is not gonna melt the poles. Its not gonna bake the planet either.
Yes it will be a bit hotter in some places, but not to the point where massive amounts of people will die from the heat.

My advice to you is use your fricking brain and try to think for yourself, instead of letting the know-it-alls do it for you

 

[shack]

Who to believe:
1)trained experts?
or
2)Phil?

That's a tough one. How much time do I get to make my choice?

I'm not asking you (or anyone else) to believe me.

I'm just giving my opinion

Congratulations Lytton BC. 47.9°C. Smashes the record. My condolences to those living there with no AC.

Just so I am clear... its your opinion that poles are not melting? Right now.

I normally do not allow myself to engage in these pissing matches. But, this is a little entertaining. Its like listening to a holocaust denier explain what concentration camps were "really for". There is no amount of evidence that will convince them.

I will let you play with your snow balls and pretend the world is just fucking dandy!
