Climate change is contributing to unusually warm weather in Nunavut and Nunavik, according to a senior climatologist with Environment Canada. "I often say you don't see climate change when you look out the window. The exception is Nunavut," said David Phi

    A high-pressure system stuck over western Greenland is causing warmer weather to move over Nunavut, but the warming climate is contributing, as well, Phillips said.


    And he can prove the latter part of his statement how? It's really embarrassing when a climatologist says things like this, because it just gives fuel to the deniers who then point to Europe as a counter example. He should stick to his advice that "you don't see climate change when you look out the window."

    It's hard to Prove for sure, but what's happening in Europe would not be difficult to explain. Climate Change is exactly that, change in climate. Nunavut may be Warmer and Europe Colder, it reinforces his point.

    But the term Climate Change doesn't mean much - climate is always changing. If some places get warmer and others colder, the net effect could be 0. My understanding why climate change is a worry is that it could be a run away warming trend, that it's global warming that's the concern. And that individual events, as he says himself at the beginning of the story, aren't an indication of anything. I'd like him to explain how the particular event in Nunavut is different.
