I live in Yellowknife. The average temp is Dec is -29 C but this year is
has ranged from +2 to -26 and it has only been that low for two mights
this month.

 PL> doesn't seem to be much of a hoax now.

The effects, as predicted, are being seen most dramatically and sooner
in the polar regions.

We rely on winter ice roads to haul heavy freight into remote
communities and mines. We are afraid the trucking season will be too
short this winter to re-supply these places.

Robins were sighted north of Cambridge Bay on Victoria Island for the
first time in a thousand years this past decade. The Inuit had no name
for them.

Although I could personally enjoy mild winters, there is a terrible price
too pay. Another consequence of global warming is a large portion of the
world's grain producing areas becoming desert. Not a pleasant thought.





Cheers

Jim, in Yellowknife
