OTTAWA — A major national park in Canada's Arctic has been largely closed after record high temperatures caused flooding that washed away hiking trails and forced the evacuation of tourists, an official said on Friday.

    People who keep posting this crap must have OCD!


    It's a whole 4 degrees in Iqualit this afternoon that's the normal nighttime low.

    It doesn't go below freezing at this time a year ....gee no wonder snow melts :roll: combined with a big rainfall things can get really messy.

    WOW a whole 4 degrees above normal yup that's evidence of global warming...it's supposed to be 17 or 18 in Calgary this weekend that must be evidence of global cooling. 5 degrees below normal... again 8O

    The heat was a little while ago:

    The problems started last month with two weeks of record temperatures on Baffin Island that reached as high as 27 C, well above the July average of 12 C.

    I'm surprised you haven't figured out how this works mtbr.

    You trade your 5 degrees below normal for their 4 above normal, and the Artic ends up 1 degree below normal. There everything’s fixed and normal. R=UP

    no that s not how it works. It could be -40C in July in all of western Canada but it wouldn't count because its not in the arctic circle therefore the alarmists wouldn't be interested.

    Two weeks of warm weather is proof of global warming? I mean climate change? 8O
    months of below normal temperatures elsewhere is proof of nothing?
    hypocrites.

    Now the moss on the tundra will grow more,everything eats well and grows more then normal and the cycle of climate change has started again.

    In the few months that plants and animals have to grow up there im sure it was welcomed by all.

    What a bullshit non-story. A 2 week, isolated, late warming. If this is news why isn't the consistent record, summer, cold in Alaska news anywhere else in the world except Alaska? Why isn't it news that the arctic melt is significantly less this year than it was last? If it was more you'd be hearing it on all channels.


    Last week, giant sheets of ice totalling almost 20 square km broke off an ice shelf in the Canadian Arctic and more might follow later this year, scientists said.


    They fail to mention there's nothing unprecedented about this. It's been happening for over a hundred years, or as long as we have any kind of records of such events.

    And here's another question. Why do we never hear the Arctic was warmer than it is today in the 30s and 40s?

    Alaska is not in the arctic circle therefore it is not a news worthy item.
    It doesn't produce the dramatic pictures of melting sheets of ice for the alarmists.
