By looking at the chart in http://www.tutiempo.net/en/Climate/Prince_George/718960.htm we appear to be a little below average the last few years mercury wise, temperatures in the 50s were on average better than the last couple, 1987 and 1998 appear to have been really toasty and 1982 really wet

No stats please slinky, people find it offensive. Global warming is the theme, fortunes can’t be made with your links posted.

Thank you slinky and X-it for that rigorous scientific debunking of Global Warming. I for one, will certainly sleep better tonight!

They closed the other weather story to comment so this is a continuation.

gus, I like your idea of having a meteorologist research fill in the temperature gaps, and make a public or media presentation on local historic and current temperatures.

Unfortunately that will never happen, meteorologists are scientists and Harper has effectively controlled their message and muzzled them!

After all, you can’t have scientists claim there is global warming, and present data that proves it, when Harper, his Environment Minister, and his government denies the earth is warming!

“But if Ottawa hasn’t found a way to manage the activists or foreign public opinion, it’s shown remarkable resolve—and success—in denying its opponents federally funded ammunition. According to internal Environment Canada documents, obtained by Climate Change Network Canada via Access to Information, the amount of attention the media paid to federal climate change research dropped precipitously—80 per cent fewer stories—once the procedures for gaining access to government scientists were tightened during Harper’s first mandate. In the first nine months of 2008, for example, the department’s four leading researchers were quoted in a total of 12 newspaper stories, versus 99 over the same period the year before.

Meanwhile, the list of cases where government scientists have been effectively gagged from speaking about peer-reviewed research—sometimes even after its publication in prestigious international journals—grows.”

Once again if the earth is warming up there is nothing we can do to stop it! If all human activity stopped today the earth would still go through its warming and cooling cycles. Human contribution to co2 in the atmosphere is barely measurable.

So keep driving your paid off truck and boat people#1!

NoWay, once again, I say there is something we can do to stop climate change: stop voting for a BIG OIL lead Conservative Government. Vote for any other political party; Liberals, Greens, NDP, it doesn’t matter… just stop voting for the Conservative Party of Canada!!!

Noway, you state; “If all human activity stopped today the earth would still go through its warming and cooling cycles. Human contribution to co2 in the atmosphere is barely measurable.”

Really? Please state your credible sources that back up / support your outlandish assertions.

“Without question, then, industrialization has increased carbon-dioxide emissions—but are human emissions significant enough to accelerate warming? Have they already done so? Both the Earth’s average temperature and global carbon-dioxide emissions increased during the twentieth century. But what should we make of research showing recent warming on Mars and Pluto, planets without power plants or automobiles? Is planetary warming simply a natural phenomenon? A better understanding of the issues surrounding these and similar questions is needed, if policymakers intend to craft prudent energy policies.”

If one is really concerned about CO2 then google coal seam fires and see what comes up. More CO2 is released into the atmosphere from just the ones in China than all the vehicles in North America combined annually… so no worries about driving your 1ton crew cab, just figure out a way to put them out and we can all drive worry free from CO2 emissions in Canada and the US plus get a nobel prize to boot

100 years of weather data means nothing. Al Gore is laughing all the way to the bank.

Sigh… here is something to keep the three of you busy:
