Late breaking news! Mid-January in Canada is Winter! Why, oh why are we receiving Extreme Cold Weather Alerts when it is a mere minus six degrees? Sure the poor souls living on the streets of Toronto are suffering, but the rest of us don't have much to complain about.I have the sinking feeling that we have been totally wussified here in Southern Ontario.On the one hand we are now calling hockey a religion. On the other hand we can't handle weather cold enough to actually create the ice for outdoor skating. What has happened here?
When I go to the States for conferences at least one of the other participants claims he/she would like to live in Canada because we are a kinder, gentler nation, but they couldn't handle the winter weather. I don't even bother to explain that we wouldn't know how to deal with a blizzard anymore, at least not in these parts.
If you are a climate change denier, look no further than the eruption of whining over a few cold days and the obsession with the temperature as news. God, are you shaking your head in disbelief, except that you don't have a head because that would be anthropomorphizing you, and does that non-existent head wear earmuffs?
How do you feel about this? Has climate change made us pathetically weak? Or you hoping for palm trees?
