There is little science
behind global warming
predictions.
Lab experiments suggest
more CO2 in the air
should cause mild,
harmless global warming.
Experiments also show
that water vapor is the
primary greenhouse gas,
and its expected warming
effect somewhat overlaps
the expected warming effect
from CO2.
As a result, the warming effect
from CO2 should be strongest
at latitudes where the climate
is cold and dry.
The Arctic has had
lots of warming since 1975,
which was expected.
But Antarctica has had
almost no warming
since 1975-- something
that was not expected.
Canada could
be described
as a cool, dry
country.
So you'd expect
a large effect from
more CO2 in the air.
Using Japan Meteorological
Agency (JMA) mean
temperatures for Canada:
Examined are
nine stations that have
almost complete data
going back to 1983.
The unexpected results:
In the chart below,
JMA data for mean
annual temperatures
show no significant
warming since 1994,
at the nine stations:
