Stations Across Canada Show More Cooling Than Warming
Global warming alarmists like claiming that a certain place is seeing more warming and climate change than everywhere else. Remarkably, they say that about almost everywhere, which of course makes no sense.
Today we look at Canadian temperature trends using the data from the Japan Meteorological Institute (JMA) for stations where they have data available going back to at least the mid-1990s.
First, we look at December’s mean temperatures. What follows is a chart depicting the results of nine stations across Canada:
Of the 9 examined stations, seven show no warming taking place at all in Canada over the past quarter-century for the month of December. Data: JMA.
The data hardly show the trends you’d expect from a place that is supposed to be “warming faster than anywhere else”.
Canada mean annual temperatures show no warming
Okay, those are only data for December. How about the annual mean temperatures?
What follows are plots for the mean annual temperatures for the 9 stations:
Data source: JMA
The plots speak clearly enough: we have been seeing more cooling than warming.
Though the surface of the globe may have warmed modestly as a whole, nothing unusual is going on. What we are likely seeing are mainly natural oceanic cycles at work, which we still know very little about.

I think this article sums it up pretty well. The cooling in Canada is presumably because of the undulating jet stream allowing cold Arctic air much further south than it usually goes?

Hi Kirye & Pierre,
Why the deceptive title: ‘Stations Across Canada”? No where in the article is it described where these 9 locations actually are. I had to use a Road Atlas and Google to identify where they were.
The only thing that gives a general ‘hint’ where most all are is the article’s last sentence: “What we are likely seeing are mainly natural oceanic cycles at work, which we still know very little about.”
Oh!! I finally see that you must have expected a reader to be able recognize the consequence of the fact that none of the 9 locations were in Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta.
Have a good idea, Jerry

Our summers have been cooler, wetter and shorter in Edmonton AB. So can agree with this article.

I was born on the Canadian Prairies and have lived here, on and off, most of my life. We just endured a cold snap the likes of which I have never seen. In Grande Prairie, where I currently reside, daytime HIGHS hovered around -30 C for 10 days! Cold temperate records were broken across Alberta by as much as 6 C; yet, nary a peep in the mainstream media. One suspects if the reverse had happened it would make front-page headlines.

Hi William,
Thank you for first hand information like this. And now I will look where Grande Prairie is. This so I can look at the remote USA weather stations’ data just below the border to see if the cold air masses moved that slowly and continuously. For we who have lived with such temperatures know, as you stated, this is quite unusual. So a question is what else unusual is causing this. Maybe we can learn, now we have more instruments and more weather stations how it is that ice ages begin. Of course, we don’t know what the temperatures of the next ten years might be.
Have a good day, Jerry
