The year it stops....

[silverback]

The year that the possibility/probability of frost in June and August ends will be the year I start believing in global warming.

Airdrie/Cochrane/Olds forecast is for -1 tonight. Cover up your green canola.

silverback . . . was recently in Anchorage and park guides there stated glaciers are in-expansion in Alaska.

[furrowtickler]

Not a word in MSM about the expansion of Artic ice the past two years either.
For those who fell for the global warming thingy - you have been slough footed

[helmsdale]

and 3 minutes ago, environment canada just bombed #abstorm with frost advisories essentially for west of hwy 2 claresholm to edson, as well as the peace country. Looks like my little piece of paradise will have to wait till tomorrow where low temps for early sunday am are anywhere from 1 to 3. Currently its blowing its ass off with drizzle and 8.

[errolanderson]

It's snowing in west Calgary . . . . .
Snow now accumulating on Cowboy Trail near Longview to Lake Louise.

Ahhh. . . but the mountains will be beautiful tomorrow morning.

[Steve_Winkler]

1.5 inches here already, 3 degrees Celsius. Most cereals were ready to combine or within a few days. Canola close to swathing.

Just waiting for the snow to start.... Barf.

Evil weather this year.

[fjlip]

Oh that evil man made global warming rearing it's ugly head again in AB. Politicians should have snow tossed at them every time any of them utter CLIMATE CHANGE! Earth to STUPID guys...F*CK ALL grows where it is COLD! Warm is good, great, better of the options. But no, I was afraid it was all bullshit and just a cash cow tax grab/distraction from REAL issues! WE will be cooling...

[freewheat]

FJ. I think you answered your question regarding who you should vote for!

[grassfarmer]

There is no doubt the average temperature around the world is rising - that's a fact. The debate is whether man is contributing to this warming.

C'mon though Silver you must be playing dumb? - declaring global warming isn't happening until we stop getting early or late frost.
That's a bit like denying farmers get bigger yields on average nowadays than they decades ago on account of one farmer somewhere having a poor crop.

[freewheat]

Actually grass, the "fact" is very disputable. But you need to dig deeper than the cbc to find some of the less biased panic mode folks.

Climate has always changed, THAT is the undisputable fact. The fear mongers acting as though it SHOULD NOT change? That is blatant lying and screwing with the weak minds who buy into the likes of the Y2K bug and an ice free arctic by 2015...
