Oh, I'm Soooooo Embarrasssed - Not

Down at this entry, Saskboy has told me I am embarrassing myself.

He wants me to believe that catastrophic droughts are in store for Saskatchewan.

It would be interesting to see how the U of R scientists explain past droughts.

"Bonsal and Regier report that "over the agricultural region of the Prairies, 2001 and 2002 generally ranked high in terms of spatial extent and severity of drought," and that "at some stations the 2001/2002 drought was the most severe one on record." Nevertheless, they state that "the SPI and PDSI as drought indicators revealed that the worst and most prolonged Prairie-wide droughts during the instrumental record (1915-2002) ... occurred in the early part of the 20th century (1915 through the 1930s)."

[---]

"So, we know when the most severe and widespread droughts of the historical record occurred on the Canadian Prairies (1915 through the 1930s); but as for why they occurred at that time is anybody's guess, although we definitely know they were not caused by anthropogenic CO2 emissions!"

Never mind that record rainfalls have been the norm across the Canadian prairie this year. Never mind, that none of the catastrophic anthropogenic global warming models predicted a downturn, now in it's tenth year, in the global temperatures. Never mind that alarmist scientists are now reduced to engaging in some pretty creative doublespeak:



Never let facts get in the way, Saskboy.
