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'.

Don't you live in Winnipeg? 40 degrees C is far more than 2 degrees above average, more like 15 above average. --- paul phillips <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: 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. Paul P Michael Perelman wrote: 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.
