Default Holocene weather

A friend of mine is a PhD paleoclimatologist. He gets interviewed regularly for a second opinion on global warming. Most of his work is with the fascinating effects of deglacation in Canada. Where he lives in Ottawa, he will happily point skyward and remind people that 15,000 years ago there was a mile of ice. When it melted, a number of very impressive lakes were formed. Even thought the Great Lakes were much lower, to the point that a land bridge existed between Michigan and Ontario across Lake Huron. When the melt water overcame the blockage towards the sea, there was one heck of a big torrent of water headed to the Atlantic. The geography of Eastern Canada is really less than 10 millenium old.

Global warming? Pfft! It is just melting icecaps and the ripple effects on us all.

1 damned degree celsius this morning here in the Nation's Capital this morning; RAN hasn't changed over to winter uniform yet either, so I got to absolutely freeze in my short sleeves, shorts and stocking socks!

Don't Worry, all. Here in Aus we will be paying a "carbon tax" from 30th June.
Therefore, there will be no more floods, bushfires, grasshopper plagues, hot summers, cold winters, snow in the north... All fixed by our wonderful green government! Julia & Bob save the world!
