Yeah it is hard to think that the world is getting warmer, when it is still hovering at near freezing at night time, 🙂

I could be wrong, but I think that Climate Change (which goes hand in hand with Global warming) is actually what may be responsible for these large “swings” in the weather.

More intense storms, more drought in the summers, colder more extreme winters, floods, hurricanes, it is all part of climate change.

And with the warmer planet, all of that permafrost, will start releasing massive amounts of Methane (70 million tonnes), making our global temperatures rise even quicker…weee!!

And technically (according to those scientist type guys), we are still in an “Ice age”, because there is continenal ice in both hemispheres.

We should enjoy that ice now, it may be gone in about 50 years. On that note, the Wilkins Ice Shelf is collapsing as we speak, and the Ross ice shelf, is well on it’s way.

When all of the ice, at both poles go (and greenland), they (those scientist type guys again) expect oceans to rise by as much as 50 metres.

At least I may have nice ocean side property out here in Chilliwack 🙂

p.s. For the record, it is still too cold out 😛
