Canada Warming Twice as Fast as the Rest of the World, Report Says (bbc.com)
Canada is warming on average at a rate twice as fast as the rest of the world, a new scientific report indicates. From a report: The federal government climate report also warns that changes are already evident in many parts of the country and are projected to intensify. Canada's Arctic has seen the deepest impact and will continue to warm at more than double the global rate. The report suggests that many of the effects already seen are probably irreversible. Canada's annual average temperature has increased by an estimated 1.7C (3F) since 1948, when nationwide temperatures were first recorded. The largest temperature increases have been seen in the North, the Prairies, and in northern British Columbia. Annual average temperature in northern Canada increased by approximately 2.3C.
Maybe they can move out of the igloos and into normal houses. ;)
You do realize you have a mental condition, right? Seriously.. Normal people don't act like you. Seriously.. You need to seek treatment..
This same story is 12 stories down.
Canada is a hotbed of virtue signalling.
It's a dirty business producing blue hair dye at industrial scales.
Twice the number of this story have been posted, so twice the warming
All those hot French-Canadian women in Quebec!
Warm maple syrup.
The Matrix just re-loaded.
* Canada is not warming at all.
* If it is warming, it's not rising faster than the rest of the world.
* It if it rising faster than the rest of the world, it's not human-created
* If it is human created, it's not a significant change anyway.
* profit!
It's the same old cold stuff .. Yes we had an exceptionally nice summer in 2018, but also a very, extra cold winter 2018-2019(thus far). I hate Canada, mostly because of the weather, then socialism(our healthcare SUCKS! fools, don't follow) and now replacement of my people(fastest rate of ethnic change in the world).
For all those Hollywood celebrities living in warm California that vowed to move to Canada after Trump won the election.
We want them to keep their word. It would be ironic if they were full of hot air....
They have more Tim Hortons than anywhere else in the world, so maybe that's the cause?
Doesn't make more or less true.
Where do they get their numbers from? I live in Canada and we had the coldest months ever. It is still in the 20s at the moment...
It's not like Canada's vast arboreal forests will burn, it's frozen methane locked soils will release massive GHG emissions, and ...
oh
wait
You're saying they have 85 percent of the world's fresh water supplies?
Ooops.

Is it really the same story? or is it a unique instance of this story?

According to this study, Canada is warming much faster than the US.
Canada has much much liberaliam than the US.
Thesis: Liberalism causes climate change.
Looks like large areas of land will turn from freezing to much more friendly temperatures, then. And more space for agriculture, too.
...we need to buy some beach property in British Colombia and setup a summer resort. Can't wait for the tourists to stop heading to Hawaii and Tahiti.

The weather models predict that in the north the temperature will rise much faster than world averages, while at the equator it will be slower. So the warming up of Canada is entirely predictable.
The sad part is, America and China are too addicted to "strong economies" to do anything about this in any meaningful way.

Who gives a fuck? Quite frankly, what's that have to do with this story? Or anything, for that matter.
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
weather: the state of the atmosphere with respect to heat or cold, wetness or dryness, calm or storm, clearness or cloudiness
climate: the average course or condition of the weather at a place usually over a period of years as exhibited by temperature, wind velocity, and precipitation
In simple terms, it is average (climate) vs point-in-time (weather) conditions.
So climate change means there is a difference in the average weather conditions of a given place and time period versus a different time period, same place.
Comparing the climate of differing places is not climate change. I suppose it should probably be called place change. Again, in simple terms, climate change involves the climate of the same area, different times.
However, the time periods must not be too short or too long. After all, a short period is by definition not climate. On the other hand, if the period is too long then you have nothing to compare. You cannot find a difference if the time period extends back to the formation of the Earth. Therefore, to find climate change you must select from time periods that show a difference. Make sure you do it scientifically! Facts matter! Context... not so much.
