Do we have to wait for an hollywood end of the world scenario or be positive and say that we just need to adapt? haha

Super hurricanes in the tropics & sub-tropics that circle endlessly around the mid-ocean high pressure areas........ I saw a Japanese weather bureau movie made from satellite data over a few months and some of the typhoons came rather close to circling back around through the tropics in that particular season - I don't have a URL I'm afraid...

Hi Julien

Your Canadian ski resorts would lose their popularity. Your permafrost in the north would begin to melt and the houses would sink, which is already happening in parts of Greenland. Luckily the 11C prediction is at the edge of the range - the average of, I think 3.4C, seems more likely.

Yeah we already started to see a difference in the weather here. It keeps freezing and warming, so the roads crack and create huge holes. There is not as much snow as before. And I feel like the temperature is going from one extreme to another. Its really hot or very cold. For example, in the last month we had one week at which the temperature was about minus -35 celcius, but then we had a few days that it went to 5 celcius, then back to -35, and now back to minus 5. We had rain during christmass for the second year in a row. It really starts to worry me... but then I feel like everyone is acting like there was nothing going on. Especialy to see that our neighbour country has for solution, inaction.

That reminds me of the wind here in England. Morning it's very carm, then in the afternoon it's a blizzard.

I don't think it's total inaction in the USA. Some individual states seem to be acting without waiting to be told.

Ah yeah I guess my comment was too rude. I know its not the total inaction, I was just generalizing the case. Just that the Bush administration isnt very much friendly on this subject...

Ok now Im worried. Its february 4 and the snow is melting. We have only one feet or so left, which is really unusual here at this date. The snow usualy remain until the end of march or the beginning of april, but at today, I can almost see the shape of the pool in my appartment yard. There is a temperature of 3 degree celcius since 1 week and meteo doesnt announce any change soon. Looks like this whole thing is really speeding up!

And on this note, I was surfing the net on the subject and I fell on this site www.globalwarming.com. It made me so mad to read things like:

( "It’s déjà vu all over again. First it was the bogus health care ‘crisis.’ Now it is the imaginary climate crisis. Then the solution was Hillarycare – a Rube Goldberg bureaucratic monstrosity dressed up in the rhetoric of markets, flexibility, and innovation. Now the solution is Climatecare – an even more audacious power grab decked out in the same deceptive rhetoric. I am confident the American people will see through and reject this latest assault on their freedom and living standards."

-- Marlo Lewis, vice-president of policy of the Competitive Enterprise

"President Clinton’s global climate change proposals will waste taxpayer money on pork-barrel corporate subsidies and will impose a ‘stealth tax’ through its emissions permit systems which will increase the cost of energy for every American."

-- Grover G. Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform)




And I noted that all the members arent scientists, but only big money makers or money aware freaks! Anyway, thats it.

We're getting the same in Ottawa with Hazy conditions, just like mid summer SMOG! High predicted of +3°C today, melting all over. Wouldn't you figure it through, it's time for our winter carnival "Winterlude" or "Waterlude" due to the temp increases at this time for the past several years.
