Brilliant forecast Jim. According to Australia’s BOM
“drought is a frequent event, occurring somewhere in the continent every three out of four years and having the size to create potential societal damage on average every one in three years.”
After forecasting the norm, they go on to test their soothsaying skills :
The blue line shows the WMO forecast. The green line shows what has actually happened. The black line shows their forecast for Canada.
Over the last decade, temperatures have been falling
Imagine if over the last 10 years global temps trended up. The Warmists would use this trend as a sign of man-made global warming. Why don’t they get honest and use the down trend as evidence to seriously doubt AGW?
Of course this whole AGW is nonsense but imagine if Canada were warmer-man and woman would finally live in harmony, not fighting over the thermostat all winter long.

Try February 1869 (that’s not a typo) 0.201 C
warmer is relative…
-25 to -24.6
Droughts are caused by CO2 induced increase in precipitation. Simultaneously effecting Australia, SW U.S., and the Amazon and Africa. But simply causing more rain elsewhere.
well, living close to Calgary, i have plotted its temperature and the last 30 years is a flat line!! Yes, since 1895, it has risen, but no crisis!!
My own climate station(part of Environment Canada’s network ) has only 21 years, and has a very small slope upwards, but if this year is anything like i have heard it could be, the slope will go negative….but again, not enough data.
but hansen came through on his 1% though!
Don’t you love this type of ‘science’ coming from these alarmists!
But don’t laugh… this is the science being taught at schools and universities across the ‘new green world’… encouraged by organizations that should know better, you know… like certain scientific institutions, many universities… many politicians… various media outlets…
So just imagine the type of scientists we are now producing… starting off their careers with an already indoctrinated mind! I just hope they are never involved in sending man into space or whatever… the astronauts might just think they have ended up in David Bowie’s song… Major Tom! What were those words again…
For here
am I sitting in my tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there’s nothing I can do
Though I’m past one hundred thousand miles
I’m feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much (she knows!)
Ground Control to Major Tom
Your circuit’s dead, there’s something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear….
“ am I floating round my tin can
Far above the Moon
Planet Earth is blue
And there’s nothing I can do.?
