The weather is up and down again from one extreme to another. The planet is warming but that doesn't mean the warming is evenly spread. What you're actually seeing is areas such as the North warming much more than everywhere else. And one of the biggest impacts of climate change is more extreme weather events; more storms and hurricanes, more wildfires, El Nino and La Nina becoming more pronounced and lasting longer. Where I live the ice forms later and is not as reliable as it used to be. Happening right now as I write, it is raining and forecast to get up to 10 degrees and high winds when it should be 0 degrees down to about -5 degrees. Tomorrow the temperature will drop to -5 degrees in the afternoon. That's typical. This summer I think it was twice we had high temperatures for a week or more that were higher than normal. I was on patrol with Canadian Rangers in August in Goose Bay and it was HOT. One winter, I think around 10 years ago, we didn't have a proper winter, it was more like Spring all winter. We had a very warm winter that year, a lot of wet weather and flooding of rivers and lakes made it very difficult, even hazardous, travelling by snowmobile. Snowmobiles are very important for travel in the winter around here, Cartwright.

So overall, climate change isn't just a global rise in temperatures. It is more extremes, extremes in temperatures, extreme weather events and more inconsistent weather patterns.
