That rainbow was about on the BC/Alta border this morn. My bud just got home from sparwood BC....rained out. Nice on one side of my house,raining on the other.

It's friggen hot here. Saturday it was 38 degree's and yesterday was 36. If is wasn't for a rather large thunderstorm last night it would have been another hot night to sleep. Supposed to last for another few days.

Here's what my week is looking like!?

+ 31 Today and humid.
We haven't had more than 3mm of rain in the last month in our area of Sweden. We're in an area (Småland) that is thick with forest & with the thunderstroms moving in ... this spells fire

107 F
It's way too hot today X_X
Hardy @ Mon Jul 24, 2006 3:57 pm
Only 43 (110) today, down from the 44 of yesterday and the day before. Supposed to drop into the upper 30s over the next week.
Guess I'll be sitting under the AC vent until the weekend.

I am finally here in Qu'appelle , Sask. It is warm for them with humidity around 34degrees. Everybody hot here, but not me. No humidity for me. Too use to southern Ontario humidity

I dunno why I'm complaining about this heat...come winter time, I'll be wishin it was HOT HOT summer again!!! hehe

Here in Thuringia's capital, Erfurt (in Germany), we have temperatures around 32°C and partly clouds...
Someone here said that this has nothing to do with global warming, right?
But German meteorologists say that it already is a proof for global warming, the average temperature of June is already 2 or 3°C higher than in the hot summers of 2000 and 2001.
Farmers are complainig about crop shortfalls of about 20-40%...

comparing this summer to one 5 years ago is not proof of global warming.Most Alberta farmers didnt even get a crop off last year due to the moisture and wet fields.If you want to prove global warming then you'll have to go back a tad farther then just a few summers,try a couple of million years.I can tellyou this because I dont have an agenda like most.
David Suzuki would be proud of you though.Considering where he live's and the fact that his community is one of the biggest polluters around by dumping raw sewage into the pacific......hypocrisy by environ- MENTALists!.He wants to clean the world but says nothing about all the raw sewage Victoria pumps straight into the pacific and thats his hometown.

Of course I can't proof such things, I am no expert in such things, it's just what I've hear and what I think might be right.
But your argument "If you want to prove global warming then you'll have to go back a tad farther then just a few summers,try a couple of million years." seems to me completely wrong, don't forget that in those days, were dinosaurs dominated earth, more CO2 was in the atmosphere.
At least I learned that in school, and CO2 is one reason for global warming, don't you think?

It's not completely wrong,global warming has existed for millions of years,I see it every time I go to my fossill digs.

Hardy Hardy:
Actually, it looks as if the surface temperature of the Arctic correlates extremely well with the CO2 levels, per your own chart. The chart could use a little catching up, atmospheric CO2 is now at 381 ppm, so rescaling will be needed to keep the line from going off the top. But it is quite informative, thanks for posting it.
Actually, the more CO2 spikes, the less there is a correlation. Basic math.
Hardy Hardy:
As for why there are no figures prior to that, the groups concerned say that it is because there isn't enough reliable data. I'd imagine this is mostly related to quality control problems with early, hand-blown thermometers. You have to remember, the mercury thermometer dates from the 1700s, and the medical thermometer from 1866 (earlier thermometers took at least 20 minutes to give a correct reading). There is no need to assume that the lack of earlier data is due to lies and collusion between NASA, the US Department of Commerce and the British Climate Research Unit.
No, all you have to assume is a) the known political leanings of academics, b) the strong inclination of any profession to accrue funding, c) a generalized groupthink mentality.
The 'reliable data' argument doesn't work. First, there isn't reliable global temperature data now, much less thirty years ago, not even getting back to the mid-1800's, where all you have is scattered temperature records in a few European capitals.
And as for CO2 data, that's all reconstructed.
You're out of luck, groupthinker.

Tip: Just because the relationship isn't linear doesn't mean there's "less" correlation.
