World simmers in hottest year so far

Its cooler where I live here in Alberta.. quite cooler and very wet.

Also, the record highs, (at least in the USA) have outnumbered the record lows in recent decades.

That's why I lean toward climate extremes. I have been in Saskatchewan for 5 years now, and the winters haven't warmed up at all, unless someone considers -50 warmer It is almost 8:00 am right now, 16 degrees celcius (60 F), and clouding over again. It has rained EVERY day this summer, it's getting hard to mow the lawn, too wet. I came from Vancouver, it's as rainy as there.

I am curious about the winter coming up, are we going to have the same precipitation as now? If so, that means a warmer winter coming, along with 6 feet or more of snow.

I posted a similiar related thread Hottest June on record.

We are in a La Nina this year which is not uncommon. We had a bad one in the 80s here in Chicago when over 400 people died due to heat.

Look forward to scorching heat in the Northern Hemisphere, severe thunderstorms, and yes quite possibly a very snowy winter!

Peace

Yep, El Nino is at work here in southern Ontario. It's virtually tropical weather -- hot and steamy since early spring, and now heavy downpours almost daily.

All my tropical house plants are outside and lovin every minute of it. I don't mind the days but sleeping without air conditioning is near impossible.

I am so glad to be rid of La Nina which made things cold for several years here. Personally I don't sweat too much how the weather changes as long as its for the better where I live. Sorry for you Irish and others out west in Canada -- tough luck. I expect to see palm trees year round here the way its going.

One thing I don't think gets brought up enough, is the money to be made from 'global warming'.

Billions just ripe for the picking in 'credits' and taxes.

Follow the money, people.
