Full Moon

Full moon over Winnipeg shining through cold Arctic air with temperature about -30C.


A high pressure area over Manitoba had cold clear air flowing in from the north.

The Arctic airmass is dry and skies are clear at 7 a.m.

Global Warming benefits

Global Warmin, benefitsGlobal warming is expected to bring benefits as well as disasters.
Russian president, Vladimir Putin says, "An increase of two or three
degrees wouldn't be so bad for a northern country like Russia.
We could spend less on fur coats and the grain harvest would go up."

Mountain Clouds

The object in this photo is not a jet plane or
a flying saucer. It is a cloud called lenticularis,
meaning shaped like a lens. These lens shaped
clouds form when moist air cools as it is forced
up and over a hill or mountain.
This beautiful, dramatic cloud is a common sight
in mountainous regions of the world.

Climate Change

In this 21st century our descendants have a most important issue to deal with--Climate Change.
There is a possibility that economies may crumble. Even civilization, as we know it, could disintegrate unless we learn to control "greenhouse-gas" emissions. Global warming is already affecting our world and our daily lives.

Arctic Airmass

It is hard to think about Global Warming when an Arctic Airmass moves southward over Canada and mid western USA. These airmasses bring extremely cold temperatures as they flow from the north, and drop minimum readings to well below normal, but the overall effect does not change the general warming trend.

Saving the Environment

Stopping Global Warming is about saving the environment. If we don't save it, will nations have to fight their neighbours for fresh water and food?
