First off, the day entered the weather books as the city’s coldest May 28 ever recorded, according to Environment Canada warning preparedness meteorologist Peter Kimbell.
The daytime high had only reached a frigid 4C (39.2F) by Friday afternoon.
For the next coldest May 28 you have to turn all the way back in 1889, according to books for downtown Toronto dating back to 1840. In other words, it’s been 130 years since Torontonians have suffered a May 28 this cold.
Even more astonishingly, just a few days ago Toronto hit a high of 33C (91.4F) — this serves as yet another powerful example of the ‘swings between extremes’ suffered during times of low solar activity:
Secondly, Friday also delivered rare, late-May snowfall to the city.
This is Toronto’s second latest snow on record after June 4, 1945 (solar minimum of cycle 17).
“It’s a bit of a shock to see flurries and white snowflakes when it’s supposed to be a normal high of 22C (71.6F),” said Kimbell.
SURPRISING ARCTIC SEA ICE THICKNESS IS GOOD NEWS FOR POLAR BEARS
Zoologist Susan Crockford has called late-May’s distribution of thick Arctic sea ice (3.5-5m/11.5-16.4 ft – or more) “surprising,” particularly given the WMO’s suggestion that we may be only five years to avert a “dangerous tipping point” in global temperatures.
There is the usual and expected band of thick ice in the Arctic Ocean across northern Greenland and Canada’s most northern islands, writes Crockford on her website polarbearscience.com, but there are also unexpected patches in the peripheral seas (especially north of Svalbard, southeast Greenland, Foxe Basin, Hudson Strait, Chukchi Sea, Laptev Sea),
This is plenty of sea ice for polar bear hunting.
That thick ice will provide summer habitat for bears that choose to stay on the ice during the low-ice season.
And finally, with regards to that “dangerous” tipping point mentioned above: the WMO recently stated there is a 40% chance the global temperature will rise 1.5C above pre-industrial levels in one year by 2026; however, the organization lists a host of specific stipulations, conditions, and limitations to their prediction, all listed in a BBC report.
And anyhow, that 1.5C level has always been a fantasy number, one plucked out of thin air by some corrupted propagandist that happens to have a PhD after their name.
Our planet is cooling.
Every key dataset reveals this.
And the establishment will soon report on this fact.
But remember, this is 1984 — there will be no retractions, no apology for the past 4-decades of scandalous fear-mongering. No, sit back and watch in befuddlement as all previous talk of ‘catastrophic global warming’ is simply abandoned, erased from consciousness, never to be spoken of again.
Wait for the MSM’s next 180 flip.
