It stated the facts that the Rideau Canal closed early. Warmer temperatures meant the canal was only open for 28 days of skating this year; in the 1980s the canal averaged 40 skating days a season - This is only data for one single year, but nevertheless, I guess thats the way it goes..

How dare you! I’m not accusing science of being dishonest but would you deny what you are being paid to study the effects of? Especially when for the last 27 years almost all of the research has been into effects and almost never causes. Do you see the millions in the global scientific community acting like their kids are doomed as well as ours? The world is confident now that climate change was exaggerated and real planet lovers are happy a crisis wasn’t real, not disappointed. And science has never said it will be a real crisis only might be a real crisis; “Climate change is real and happening and “could” cause a climate crisis”. They have never said it will actually happen, only might. Please stop fear mongering our children with the climate change threats! How dare you!
