Mapping Canada’s climate future



Adapted from the interactive Climate Atlas of Canada, this map shows the projected number of days with temperatures of 25 degrees Celsius or higher per year by the end of this century if global warming continues unchecked, with dark red representing 100+ days.

Summers in southern Canada could see nearly twice as many hot-weather days as they did at the end of the last century, while Yellowknife and other places in the southern Arctic could see four times as many 25C-or-hotter days.

^^ Very sobering prognosis for Prairie Weather in the coming decades
My home town goes from 3 weeks of +30°C daily temps each year...
...to two months worth per year by mid century.

Some cities like Vancouver, Montreal, Halifax or StJohns, for example, can go a full year without reaching +30°C



Great Falls Montana, just south of the border, is projected to go from 27°C average day-time Summer temp now... to Yucaipa, California's 33.5°C current average Summer temp within ~80 years time.

For someone who complains that the summer is too short I view that map as an improvement. For those that want cooler weather all they need do is move about 1,000 - 3,000 km further north. What I'm concerned about is the amount of precipitation projected.

An improvement in the sense that if your house is a little chilly, torching it and setting it ablaze can improve the situation for at least a short while!

The summer is already hot enough for me here in Windsor, although an even milder winter sounds pretty good.

More in the sense that buying a better furnace might make your chilly, drafty house warmer and you, as its occupant, happier.

In its more religious moments, the climate change movement seems to demand that everyone pretend to believe that any change from current climate norms must be a change for the worse. That’s obviously absurd, and yet people seem afraid to admit that, say, Winnipeg could stand to be a bit warmer, for fear of being labelled a climate change heretic.

I am not an extreme climate change alarmist, and although I see your point, the problem with that is that the world is all interconnected under one biosphere. Making Winnipeg a tad warmer generally entails also making a whole bunch of other places warmer when it's best that they not warm up. I am sure you understand this.

Perhaps the better analogy is lighting a good chunk of the surrounding nieghbourhood on fire so that your furnace doesn't have to work as hard and the drafts aren't quite as cool as they were before.

If it could be done in isolation, it would be great. But the problem is that warming Earth up to the point where Winnipeg has a nice temperate climate means you're warming much of the rest of the planet up to a catastrophically high temperature.

Remember, the global average temperature has only climbed about 5 degrees since the last ice age. It doesn't take much.

Fortunately for the planet, human-caused climate change is a bit of a self correcting problem...

Indeed - once the humans have buggered themselves, the problem will go away.

The thing is climate change won't affect earth equally.
while some parts warm like the Arctic...

An ice-free (Arctic) summer once predicted to arrive in 2040 to 2050 could conceivably occur between 2030 and 2040

...some parts of planet may actually cool

Quote:
Extreme winter weather across the U.S. is linked to unusual warmth in the Arctic, according to a study published Tuesday.

That is especially true in the heavily populated eastern U.S., the study said, where extreme winter weather is two to four times more likely when temperatures in the Arctic are unusually warm.

...The theory is that when weird warmth invades the Arctic, some of the cold that's supposed to stay up there — including the infamous polar vortex — instead sloshes down south into North America and Europe.

"Five of the past six winters have brought persistent cold to the eastern U.S. and warm, dry conditions to the West, while the Arctic has been off-the-charts warm," Jennifer Francis, a climate scientist at Rutgers University.

You should tell the good people of Yucaipa, California that their climate is akin to being torched and set ablaze.

I know. Some people need things spelled out in black and white. Climate change is happening whether people like it or not. It's alarming that unlike before this latest warming period is of our own doing but we'll just have to do what all life forms have done over millennia: migrate.

Some species will survive the transition, some won't. If we don't, so be it. In the grand scheme of things we over estimate our species' importance.
