  1. So far Canada,Switzerland, Britain, the Adirondacks and Russia are warming faster than the global average? Hm. Isn’t that alarming. When the rest of the world catches up, remind me to panic.

    Average?

    1. Sweden also. Interestingly, they do not tell you how much things are warming– I suggest not much, so they must use sensationalism to get attention. Isn’t warming expected to be about 1 degree by the end of the century? I am amazed that anyone takes these fear mongers seriously.

  2. So, does that mean that half of all locations on earth are warming faster than average, while the other half are warming more slowly than average? Do this not all average out in the end? Math is so hard…

      1. Low information, and low ability to resist cultists … like the Gaia cultists who peddle CAGW! Oh my! We’re all gonna Dieeeeeee!!!. Thankfully … some cult members will go faster than average.

      2. I will suggest that 90% of the people have an IQ that is half that which is necessary to function.

  3. In a sane world we would be locking these people up for their own safety.
    Terminal brain rot brought on by late stage syphilis indeed.

  4. I live in Canada and I have noted that it’s getting cooler, not warmer. I look at my heating costs rising each year as we have more colder days and nights. The numbers don’t lie.

    If we’ve been having global warming for the past 20 years as the greenie lefty arseholes keep claiming, then why hasn’t my heating and energy use gone down over that two decade period. I am talking about usage, not increases in energy costs which we have also been enjoying.

    I recently checked and the ocean levels have not gone up AT ALL!

    I live on an Island in the Pacific Ocean.

    1. Duke, beginning in 1999 I began doing 2-3 week motorcycle rides right after the tax season, usually on May 1. I used to leave at around 7 a.m. in my lightest air flow gear. A few years ago I pushed by departure date out to around mid-May at around 9-10 a.m.

      From this I concluded that it has been getting cooler every year since 1999. The climatisitas know this too which is why the great hoax was re-labeled from “global warming” to “climate change” when it became undeniable that the Co2 models failed.

      1. I used to play quite a bit of golf in April after returning from Florida, last year I played once in April and so far this year not at all as of yet.

  5. Purveyors of mass hysteria need to increase the hysteria when their message is becoming less effective to everyone except the politicians, corporate entities (ENGOs), and rent seekers pimping it.

  6. Somebody a few years ago figgerd the average temperature is something akin to average currency.
    Heh….

  7. As always Prof McKitrick is worth reading: https://business.financialpost.com/opinion/ross-mckitrick-hold-the-panic-canada-just-warmed-1-7-degrees-and-thrived He says:

    “And most of the report’s comparisons start in 1948 to maximize data availability, but this boosts the warming rate compared to starting in the 1930s, which was a hot decade. When the authors talk about attributing changes to greenhouse gases versus natural variability, they don’t explain the deep uncertainties in such calculations.”

    No they don’t, but this is gladly filled in by C C Barbie and her political axe grinders. Who has credibility here, McKitrick who exposed the hockey stick manipulation, or McKenna who still doesn’t know that CO2 is an essential gas, not a pollutant?

    1. Alas, everywhere in the world is warming “faster than average.” The climate catastrophe cabal has jumped the whale shark.
      They’re the only ones who don’t know it. Canadians told “big polluters pay” find out the truth at the gas pumps.

      When thermometer readings are adjusted because that’s what scientists do (“homogenizing” data to meet their conclusions?) to “prove” warming, these fools should know their gig scam is up. But the money keeps coming in. Turn off the taps!

      Meanwhile, the CBC tries to convince us via loons like the Eurasia group that carbon taxes that increase the price of everything are good for the economy. As opposed to watermelons violent do-gooders blowing things up. This insanity must end.

      Remember carbon taxes are “revenue neutral,” because government intervention is free. Not in your endangered life.

    2. Start in 1948 conveniently removing the warm 1930’s from the equation. Similar to starting the Arctic ice satellite record in 1979 when the satellite record extends back to 1973. But 1973 had considerably less Arctic ice than 1979 so it would spoil the narrative. Scoundrels!

      1. The NW passage is nearly ice free for the first time since, gasp, 1916, or is it 1948? Oh but now it’s “unprecedented” eh?
        That reality, like the MWP, is too inconvenient not to ignore, obfuscate or simply lie about. Oh but CO2 is at 800m yr “highs.”
        Just forget about the weather, which is only the discrete data that is part of the continuous function known as climate.
        Which humans have no firm understanding of, other than those who “know” in the hearts and wallets that humans did “it.”

  8. Ottawa still has snow on the ground. Its been a five month winter. As long as I can keep my beer cold, bring on the big melt.

    1. As the average temperature goes up, the average IQ declines thus proving global warming is real in the minds of people with lower IQ’s.

    2. Before CAGW and watermelonism, they used to call it “snow,” but apparently it doesn’t exist anymore.

  9. And yet all I can smell is burning rubber and hair. That is from the increased friction created by all the ass bandits in Ottawa.

  10. Environment Canada can not even predict tomorrow’s weather, let alone a season. The farmer’s almanac is still more reliable. Canada would benefit from global warming and CO2 is great for forests. Yes, the climate changes, and always has.

    My favourite video is George Carlin on global warming on YouTube. Look it up, as he was hilarious! Yes, the planet is FINE!

  11. Just in that link:

    There is a reason we use links here. Try it.

    1. yah Rance, links are like manure spreaders here on the farm……………………………….

  12. Why do I continually see car ads on TV? The ones I see burn gasoline still, not Lithium which is actually more expensive, pound for pound.

    It was warmer when my Viking ancestors came down from Norway to rape, pillage and screw then sell good, newly Catholic, Anglo Saxon gurls. To the Muslims, too. Horrors. Sea levels were probably the same then.

  13. If Canada, Switzerland and the Adirondaks are warming twice as fast as average, then where is it warming LESS than average?

      1. You mean the South Pole? After all, Dr. Fruit Fly told kiddies that Santa had to move there because of “climb it change”.

    1. > If Canada, Switzerland and the Adirondaks are warming twice as fast as average, then where is it warming LESS than average?

      Don’t be so numerical! It’s warming faster than average *everywhere*. That’s why we only have 12 years to save the planet.

  14. It is BECAUSE:
    They want to DOUBLE your carbon taxes in places where it is warming TWICE as fast than average –

    La, la, la, la, laàaàaaa!
    Crunch, bam, bang, swoosh…e=mc2

  15. Huffing… Post – Canada is warming 3 times faster than the United States. April 8, quoting Forbes.

    That is because U.S. President Donald J. Trump is so *cool !

    *(I opined stoking coal fired S.J.W.s into a mad frenzy. Hey, it’s a hobby, everyone needs a hobby.)

    If Canada, with a flat-lined economic growth, is warming 3 times faster than the booming U.S. economy.

    Is it due to Canadian voters tempering the steel of their resolve, so as to boot the Trudeau Liberals through the goalposts and out of the electoral ballpark this October 21st ?

    If Canada is warming 3 times faster than the United States, that explains Justin Trudeau’s plan to replace the Canadian flag’s Maple Leaf with…chicken little screaming “The Sky is Falling !”

  16. More fake news ….

    I have entirely stopped doing business with any organization that supports the climate change fraud. Unfortunately the Canadian muppets believe too much of the BS that they’re fed. So sad ….

  17. If only the climate would change and we got some shoreline in Alberta too. Palm trees. Love ’em. If only it wasn’t a pathetic lie.

  18. PANIC!!! hahaha.

    In 1989 they said we had 10 years. I’m sure I’ve heard them (UN and their cult members) say that every year since then. We’ve only had 10 or 12 years left to get taxed into oblivion or we will all die for the last 3 decades.

    The people that believe in global warming…same people that send thousands of dollars to Nigerian princes (or go to India and dance around like a moron).

    1. Taxes, yes. But so much more. A cash cow for friends that spread the gospel…Gore, Suzuki et al. Government subsidies to friends of the government…Solyndra, wind power companies etc. An excuse to transfer vast sums of wealth to the poorer nations from the prosperous ones. A transfer of jobs from environmentally friendly nations (like Canada and the USA) to the nations that aren’t hindered by these encumberances (China, India, Saudi Arabia etc). And then we can’t forget about all the bureaucrats that are making well into the 6 figure range salaries and all the fringe benefits that go with that (flights all over the world to caviar dinners etc).

      Just a big scam to fatten the pigs at the trough. I am somewhat skeptically waiting for their “let them eat cake” moment.

    1. They all got the same memo…but forgot to coordinate their responses.

  19. When the fuckwits who keep voting for this are doing Logan’s run, because Soros needs a new heart or something, no one help them, m’kay?

  20. As everywhere warms up faster than anywhere, the temperature at Eureka Station, Nunavut stays at normal averages.

    At this hour, 21:00 CST on top of the world, Eureka is cold spot in Canada at -33.2.

    Well below averages.

    1. After we decided that Justin Trudeau must be the stupidest M.P. in the Liberal caucus, he has a rival, Climate Barbie.
      ——————————————————————————————————————————————————-
      “Trailed by only a small flotilla of aides and a few backbench MPs, looking every bit a newly fledged brand ambassador for Keep ‘Em Cold Canada, Ms. McKenna gleefully expanded on the benefits of shovelling $12 million to a family concern that already has something like $7 billion to $12 billion in its own piggy bank. (A vulgar reporter was uncouth enough to ask, “isn’t giving $12 million to the Weston family a little like peeing into Lake Ontario to raise the water level,” but she was very properly shushed.)”

  21. I say there is no such thing as a true global average temperate. There is however a manufactured variety of this animal.
    To get a true global average temperature, you would need to get a simultaneous temperature reading at the exact same time and under the exact same reading situations from a multitude of equally spaced weather stations around the globe. Then you may possibly be able to compute an average global temperature.
    As I understand it now, there are relatively few stations globally – mostly on land near populated areas that provide the readings. I cannot see how satellite measurements can be blended in with land based measurements for this task without introducing major discrepancies that need to be ‘adjusted’.
    Then missing data is extropolated from the scarce actual data from the next nearest stations which may be multi kilometers away. Take this mix of actual and calculated data and run an average and this is what is reported. If the result looks wonky, then go back and redo the extropolations until you get the answer you are looking for.

    Think about it in terms of taking a digital photograph. A typical photo may be say 4000 pixels across and 3000 pixels down resulting in what is described as a 12 megapixel image. Each pixel or dot in the photo has a color and brightness value. Therefore it may be possible to calculate the average brightness of the photo by averaging the brightness values of all the pixels.
    But suppose your camera had a bad sensor and only 10% of the possible pixels were captured in the image, and they were in random locations in the image. Now you would first have great difficulty seeing the image, and your average brightness of the photo would be meaningless. This is where we are with our ‘global average’ temperature.

    I am not a scientist, but I have stayed at a Holiday Inn once.

    1. Mr. Foobert, now if, Stephen Harper had appointed you to the Senate when he had the chance…

  22. I keep saying this,the “Cult of Calamitous Climate is an intelligence test.”
    For math is hard and history is,so yesterday.
    3 times zero is so terrible.
    Skyfall at noon.
    In The language of our progressive comrades;
    “Global Warming is bad”
    “2 times global warming is awful”.
    “3 time the average rate of global warming is doom.”
    Not noted, but always implied Climate Change = C.A.G.W.
    Average rate of warming =zero +/- adjusted speculation.
    CAGW is an intelligence test and one most of our self appointed intellectuals fail.
    Reading of “The Emperors New Clothes” will be compulsory as part of the deprogramming.
    Cause mine eyes and ears are eroded by the sight and sound of these fat and ugly Emperors.

  23. So much for Climate Change nothing but a total farce being used by the Eco-Wackos and the Globalists to push for World Goverment under t he UN
