Another thunder storm here in Ottawa. Usually we get 1/2 dozen in August. This year we have had that

many and it is only June. Global warming is upon us. They say we will get more wet weather. And we already have a huge amount of the world's fresh water in Canada. How fair is that? In what ways has your local climate changed?

We haven't had a good rain for about a month. Had a little bit last Friday but not nearly enough.

Detroit has set several weird weather records in the past few years. 2010 was the warmest spring on record, and then we just beat that in 2012. Last July was the hottest July on record. Last year was the wettest year on record. And so on.

Of course, there is no global warming, so it can't be that.
