  2. Once you factor in all of the adjustments. And no, you don’t need to know what they are, just trust us, the hottest xxxxx ever.

    1. Temperature “smoothing” can only be understood by Top scientists … really Top … scientists. Now run along and be sure to wear your double mask

      1. Jebus.

        It ain’t the Earth that’s warming.
        I think it has something to do with that big azz glowing orb in the sky.
        The Sun is the problem.

        I mean , when I get burnt toast , I don’t blame the bread do I ?

        1. You win the internet today.

          “when I get burnt toast , I don’t blame the bread do I” is a classic, and a brilliant point against the alarmists.

  3. I would have thought the left would like the end of snow. Snow is truly white supremacy, especially when it snows in the US. Everything stops.

    1. Not quite Joe. The left laments the prospective of less whiteness.

      Snowfalls are now just a thing of the past

      Britain’s winter ends tomorrow with further indications of a striking environmental change: snow is starting to disappear from our lives.

      Sledges, snowmen, snowballs and the excitement of waking to find that the stuff has settled outside are all a rapidly diminishing part of Britain’s culture, as warmer winters – which scientists are attributing to global climate change – produce not only fewer white Christmases, but fewer white Januaries and Februaries.

      The first two months of 2000 were virtually free of significant snowfall in much of lowland Britain, and December brought only moderate snowfall in the South-east. It is the continuation of a trend that has been increasingly visible in the past 15 years: in the south of England, for instance, from 1970 to 1995 snow and sleet fell for an average of 3.7 days, while from 1988 to 1995 the average was 0.7 days. London’s last substantial snowfall was in February 1991.

      Global warming, the heating of the atmosphere by increased amounts of industrial gases, is now accepted as a reality by the international community. Average temperatures in Britain were nearly 0.6°C higher in the Nineties than in 1960-90, and it is estimated that they will increase by 0.2C every decade over the coming century. Eight of the 10 hottest years on record occurred in the Nineties.

      However, the warming is so far manifesting itself more in winters which are less cold than in much hotter summers. According to Dr David Viner, a senior research scientist at the climatic research unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia,within a few years winter snowfall will become “a very rare and exciting event”.

      “Children just aren’t going to know what snow is,” he said.

      The effects of snow-free winter in Britain are already becoming apparent. This year, for the first time ever, Hamleys, Britain’s biggest toyshop, had no sledges on display in its Regent Street store. “It was a bit of a first,” a spokesperson said.

      Fen skating, once a popular sport on the fields of East Anglia, now takes place on indoor artificial rinks. Malcolm Robinson, of the Fenland Indoor Speed Skating Club in Peterborough, says they have not skated outside since 1997. “As a boy, I can remember being on ice most winters. Now it’s few and far between,” he said.

      Michael Jeacock, a Cambridgeshire local historian, added that a generation was growing up “without experiencing one of the greatest joys and privileges of living in this part of the world – open-air skating”.

      Warmer winters have significant environmental and economic implications, and a wide range of research indicates that pests and plant diseases, usually killed back by sharp frosts, are likely to flourish. But very little research has been done on the cultural implications of climate change – into the possibility, for example, that our notion of Christmas might have to shift.

      Professor Jarich Oosten, an anthropologist at the University of Leiden in the Netherlands, says that even if we no longer see snow, it will remain culturally important.

      “We don’t really have wolves in Europe any more, but they are still an important part of our culture and everyone knows what they look like,” he said.

      David Parker, at the Hadley Centre for Climate Prediction and Research in Berkshire, says ultimately, British children could have only virtual experience of snow. Via the internet, they might wonder at polar scenes – or eventually “feel” virtual cold.

      Heavy snow will return occasionally, says Dr Viner, but when it does we will be unprepared. “We’re really going to get caught out. Snow will probably cause chaos in 20 years time,” he said.

      The chances are certainly now stacked against the sortof heavy snowfall in cities that inspired Impressionist painters, such as Sisley, and the 19th century poet laureate Robert Bridges, who wrote in “London Snow” of it, “stealthily and perpetually settling and loosely lying”.

      Not any more, it seems.

    1. No, now it’s “the climate emergency”.
      Please keep up with the class.

      It’s a much better brand to do all kinds of emergency things.

      1. Worst Thing: Emergencies allow governments to mandate themselves Emergency Powers.

    2. You are exactly right, Thomas, yet another BS manipulation of their BS warming narrative. A BS narrative that would be totally impossible to push on us without the complicity of corrupted, ideology-based media and bureaucracies, BTW.

    3. EXTREME weather! Cold and Hot, Wet or Dry … caused by YOUR carbon energy sinfulness

      1. Climate … HEALTH … emergency. Which disproportionately affects underserved communities. Yeah, keep up …

  5. CAGW is a lot like covid. Who ya gonna believe – our trusted media or your own lyin’ eyes?

  6. Rest assured, the snow will be blamed on global warming that caused massive changes in atmospheric circulatory patterns that pulled the cold down from the Arctic. That’s the explanation every time.

  7. When temperatures skyrocket I expect Doug Ford to turn into Chris Farley.

      1. I envision a Chippendales routine with a holographic Rob, instead of Patrick Swayze, accompanying Doug.

        I dont think you’re ready for that jelly.

      1. Volcanoes are SO cool. I know they’re really hot but you know what I mean.
        Thanks for that link Foobert.

        1. And they’re good indications that when Mother Earth is really PMS’ing, she releases a heck of a lot of CO2.

  10. Traces of snow have been recorded in Toronto (even downtown) in early June on two occasions so this is not entirely unprecedented. Those were in 1945 and 1859. Late May traces of snow have occurred on several occasions also, and there was a brief accumulation on the ground overnight May 26-27, 1961 (only at YYZ, not downtown).

    This is the second year in a row with unusual cold weather in May, last year a record low was set on May 9th at the downtown Toronto location, and because of the urban heat island growth, there had not been one in May since 1923.

    The weather has also been unusually cold in Europe this spring. A very cold pattern was attempting to set up in the winter but it seemed to take quite a while to overcome the background warmth of these recent years, eventually it took over in April and most of May.

    It is what it is, there will continue to be high variability whatever the actual outcome of the global warming theories, and even if the climate shifts to something warmer permanently there will still be the occasional freak cold spell, the atmosphere has always acted this way.

    1. Calgary has been known to have snow every month of the year though not – usually – all in the same 12-month period.

  11. I am torn between Tiny Tim and Oh Susanna,can’t figure which one is more apt to express my contempt for Gang Green.
    The Ice Caps are Melting is kinda fitting,but that old time classic,”Sun so hot I froze to death..” is just so “Climatology” The religion.
    If Gang Green and their fellow travellers are so sure “Global Warming” is real,they should be grateful for the opportunity to colonize some prime High Arctic Lands.
    I on the other hand,am so ungrateful for their advice,wisdom and theft that I am very willing to help them ,colonize some prime High Arctic lands..By force if necessary.
    Let us allow them the great privilege of “living the dream”,A wonderous carbon free,fossil fuel free and free of all the technologies hydrocarbons have provided us,no plastics,no steel,nothing produced using these “evil” substances they want to take away from us..
    I would pay,to see them suffer the logical consequences of their stupidity,as long as there is no return.

  12. Meanwhile, it’s another cyclical dry spring in the Okanagan Valley.
    Low snow pack, low lake level, and the low down truth about cycles.
    Four years ago my yard was a flood due to big snowpack, big rain, and a fast melt., coupled with inadequate culverts in the creek that feeds the big lake.
    This year, the creek runs low and the lake level is low.
    All that happens over deep time, notwithstanding the climate modelling stupidity.
    It is all much larger and more natural in deep time than the benighted fools and their models can even begin to understand.
    Have a nice fleeting day.

  13. Hasn’t it been the hottest month, year on record every month, year since like 2005 or something?

  15. My fooking peonies, lilacs, lilies, veggies are frozen solid where I am right now at 7:30 in the morning. We are hoping for the best for my hostas and hydrangeas. I can’t see central Ontario producing strawberries if what happened here in our neck of the woods was widespread.

    My husband noted that we must be positioned in a carbon void.

  16. I would like the climate change experts to explain to me exactly how a few parts per million more of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere causes unseasonably cold weather. How can this happen in light of the so called greenhouse effect?
    Sorry, platitudes such as ‘ the science is settled ‘ will not be accepted.

  17. You all are mocking the fact that Skippy is just better than even he knew. When you pay your carbon tax, the earth cools and we get snow in Mississauga at the end of May. “My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!”

  18. In Southern Alberta, we get snow anytime of year. In July, you’re sunbathing in the morning and then covering the barbecue in the afternoon.
    In 1992, winter started August 22nd and stayed practically until 1994. Of course, ole Suckzuki claimed it was cold because of glow-bull wormening.

  20. After having lived on this earth for more that 6 decades, I never thought I would see the demise of the USA and Canada as a democracy but we are very near to this happening. Wake up lefties you will be affected too.
