    Rain coming within a week....last night the furnace could not keep up.
    Anyone who still doubts the idea of climate change?

    Longest I've been into a year without drilling a hole somewhere.... Simcoe hasn't been safe where I like to go and back home has been riddled with slush. Crazy year for sure

    It was only -28 here last night - that's nothing new - neither is rain in February, particularly in el nino winters. What is new is the internet and all the hype that surrounds, well, just about everything, be it the Y2K scare, global warming and now "climate change".

    Yes...the only thing constant is change.

    But it is the weather that is changing, not the climate.

    Not to worry. Trudough, Neil Young and Di Caprio are on it. They will collectively adjust the planets orbit as well as the sun's. All will be well and they have committed to reducing the planet's temperature. Thank god we now have such attractive people on the case ( well except for Young). I bet Sophie Gregoire is writing a song right now about the planet. Everything will be fine. What could possibly go wrong with such well rounded and educated luminaries on the case? They even went to Paris. Sunny days.....

    I’m suspicious of people who don't like dogs, but I trust a dog who doesn't like a person.

    Weather is over short term, climate is over long term.
    Rain last week, -29 this week is weather.
    The dirty thirties and the mini-ice age of the 1880's - more weather.
    The medieval warm period and the current cold period we are currently in - that's climate change.

    ...and for those obsessed by global warming or climate change or whatever it is now - please keep in mind that from a climatological perspective, we are still in a "cold" period. When it gets warm enough to grow grapes in Newfoundland again, then maybe we can talk about "climate change".
