Something's changed, but if we close our eyes and stick our fingers in our ears we can continue business as usual

Full steam ahead for o&g! Alberta needs warmer winters, still, otherwise the hot summers are Worth It โ„ข๏ธ

This is the best summary I could come up with:


"It's been a wild ride," said Danny Blair, co-director of the Prairie Climate Centre at the University of Winnipeg.

In British Columbia, once the "wet coast," 28 out of 34 river basins were at the province's top two drought levels.

Ranchers were selling cattle that they couldn't grow enough hay to feed, and low streamflows were threatening salmon runs.

There were also fires that spread smoke across the continent and into Europe, where "Canadian wildfires" made headlines from the New York Times to Germany's nightly news.

Tens of thousands of people were forced from their homes, hundreds of houses were destroyed and four firefighters have been killed.

"But the frequency of it and the severity of it and the coinciding of it with enormous extremes of weather in the U.S. and across the world is suggesting to a lot of people that something's changed."

This summer? This winter was insane as well! (at least in my area). Two weeks of actually below zero, and virtually no snow outside of those two weeks this entire summer. The average temperature, once you exclude those two weeks, was like +5-10! It felt like we were living a good 20 degrees further south or something this winter.
