Canada hits highest ever recorded temperature!
- Thread starter mandrill
- Start date
The one good thing about Canadian summers -- they're short. This country doesn't do heat and humidity well. Canadian houses and buildings are designed to protect you from the cold, which makes summer shitty, if you're like me and live in an old home without central A/C. I was explaining this once to a friend from southern California who was surprised to hear that the problem in Canada is not trying to keep warm in winter, it's trying to stay cool in summer.
It actually slid up higher... final number was 46.6°C.

Canada weather: Heat hits record 46.6C as US north-west also sizzles
Lytton in British Columbia breaks an 84-year-old record, as the US Pacific north-west also sizzles.
No sign of teen climate activists going on school strike
to raise public awareness of the devastating impact of
global warming. I guess Summer holiday is not the right
time.

Forest fires can't be far behind, then watch out! Central Ontario has had a great summer thus far.
I don't think we need Greta to tell us something is wrong here.
Deep freezes in TX?! Highest temperatures ever recorded in BC?!
I am beginning to see the merit of the climate movement. Big Oil
are so afraid of Greta they have cut back capital spending on
exploration for new resources as well as infill drilling needed to arrest
production decline in a big way. Now I can be assured of elevated
oil prices lasting for a few more good years.
It won't hurt to share Greta's message with the world. I will be very
pleased if this will help pushing WTI price level to above $100 before
the pandemic is over.

Well, that's nice.
How do you explain the unusual temperatures this year? Business as usual?
Yes, it is business as usual. The temperature records are supposed to be breaker because of the volatility. Always having "usual" weather is unusual.
That is a question for climate scientists to answer. I can
assure you I've crossed path with more environmental scientists
than vast majority of people here. In fact for a long time my office
was in a building shared with some of our nation's outstanding environmental
researchers. Whatever the explanation is for the unusual temperature I can
also assure you it is business as usual for those people most qualified
to answer the question. Interestingly one of the them poked fun at me when
finding out I commuted by bus instead of driving.

Sure, ice ages and thermal maximums have happened in the past.
But that doesn't mean you want to start another one.
This is the biggest heatwave ever recorded during the span of humans in North America.
And this portents to being a massive change.
They did, you just don't like the answer.
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?
