"Everybody who lives on the Prairies for any length of time knows that we have lots of swings, but this is a pretty crazy one," said Danny Blair, co-director of the Prairie Climate Centre and a climatologist at the University of Winnipeg.
Fast forward to spring 2022, and while March this year was drier than normal, April was the second wettest in 151 years, with four times the normal amount of precipitation."Does that mean that climate change is here in a really big way this year?" Blair said to CBC"No, that's not the way it works, but it's symptomatic. It's indicative of what we should expect more often in the future, and that we should prepare for.
Variability is a normal part of Prairie climate, but the swings could become even more dramatic, Blair said. Nathan Gillett, a researcher with Environment and Climate Change Canada, also said Manitoba's recent weather can't be directly linked to human-caused climate change — because not enough studies have been done with the current data — but it is consistent with warming trends seen around the world.
Sandbags surround a house with a vehicle partly submerged in floodwater on the Peguis First Nation on May 6. The Fisher River has spilled its banks at Peguis, flooding part of Manitoba's Interlake region."In terms of the long-term trends, more drought in the summer," Gillett said."The heaviest rainfall events are predicted to get more intense, globally and in Canada," Gillett said.
Wow More CBC experts. Remember that story you did where you had to insert actual mannequins into the dialogue too present your “news? Canadians do. That’s why we don’t trust you. Keep your experts.

If we could just find the way to prove climate change. And use all the actual science to do it. I miss science. I miss grade 8. It was the last time scientist used science to science things. Fawk.
Experts. 😂
Climate has been changing since time immemorial. This is not news.
