By mid-century, it may no longer be possible to play ice hockey or skate on outdoor rinks without artificial intervention. "If you draw a straight line into the future you get zero rink-flooding days by mid-century which implies that at some point in that period you can't build a rink because it is not getting cold enough," said Damon Matthews, a geographer at Concordia University and author of the study.
..."I think this is going to strike a chord with Canadians," Matthews said. "When I think of things that are vulnerable to climate change that people care about in Canada I would place outdoor ice hockey very close to the top of that list."..
The results should not be surprising, said Simon Donner, a climate scientist at the University of British Columbia. Temperatures in Canada have increased by more than 2.5C since 1950, which is about three times the global average of warming attributed to climate change.
Comrade Klein on the politics of alarmism.
Bwahahahaha! Peter Gleick recommends Skeptical Science | Australian Climate Madness
I really wish I could get an endorsement from someone of Gleick's standing in the scientific community…
Hottest Month Ever Recorded Occurred During Hansen’s Third Coldest Year Ever | Real Science
Death Valley averaged an unbelievable 107 degrees in July, 1917. That is sixteen degrees hotter than Oklahoma City was last July.
Hansen shows 1917 as being the third coldest year on record.
