Ken,
I now live in Vernon, BC (as I have for the fast 3-4 years).
Temperatures in my carport the past week have averaged around 32-35
degrees daily. The average temperature has been around 2 degrees
hotter than 'average' but this weekend the temperature is forecast to
be 10 to 15 degrees above 'normal'.

What is the source for that furcast! Enviro Canada
forecast shows the highest high in the next five days
to be 29 C in Winnipeg. Don't you live in Winnipeg? 40
degrees C is far more than 2 degrees above average,
more like 15 above average.

This week in my area the
temparatures are forcast to
rise to plus 40 centagrade (110+ feringade) which
is the highest on
record and 2+ degrees above 'average'. In eastern
Canada, people are
dying of the heat while in western Canada, the
glaciers are
disappearing, never again to be a source of
agricultural irrigation or
hydro power. It is a disaster of unrecognized
proportions.

I don't know about the newspages as a whole, but
this was a front page
story. Global warming is extending the growing
season. The people see
the melting glaciers as a hydro power source ....
The story quotes some people that say that the net
effect will be
negative, but the overall thrust is that global
warming is nice -- at
least in Greenland.

I just read yesterday's front-page story Wall
Street Journal:
Lauren Etter. 2006. "Feeling the Heat: For Icy
Greenland, Global
Warming Has a Bright
Side." Wall Street Journal (18 July): p. A1.
After years of denying that global warming
exists, the paper is now
gloating that in
Iceland agriculture is doing far better as the
glaciers melt.
The editpage has denied it - have the news pages?
