Ranfurly, Alberta -- 1919 versus 2019 precipitation

Despite all the rhetoric, 
actual changes in climate 
over the past 100 years 
are small compared 
to normal seasonal 
variations.

But there’s more 
to the climate
than temperature.

Consider total 
daily precipitation. 

For Ranfurly, Alberta, 
Canada, the chart
shows total daily 
precipitation 
in 1919 and 2019, 
both in millimeters. 

Do either 
of the 
two lines 
look like a 
“climate 
emergency” 
to you? 

The 2019 winter was drier, 
and spring was wetter,
than in 1919 -- but 
there's not much 
of a difference when 
looking at the whole year.
