You should show these guys your graphs and explain how wrong they have it?

These graphs are just the EC data, I'm not making this stuff up.

I've also already said that we should start to feel the effects of global warming around here by 2040 or so. Well that site you linked says:

Independent expert research results project three key climate changes for Whistler over the next 25–55 years

That's 2043-2068 that they say these things will happen.

I took the YVR data and averaged it out over whole years throwing away years that didn't have 12 data points:

Then I bucketed it by 4 year averages:

Then 6 year:

Then 8 year:

And finally 10 year averages:

You can definitely see a small rise when breaking down the data like this. Most interesting to me is the 4 year average graph. In it you can see that while the rise from 1937 is only about 0.6 degrees the rise since the 1970 low is about 1.2 degrees.

Now a 1.2 degree change is going to be felt by humans on a 40 year span but keep in mind that's cherry picking a low to high swing out of the cycle as a whole.

I should probably mix in the new YVR data from 2013 on but it comes as a different data set from EC and I worry they moved the position the readings were taken from which can effect they analysis.

Going ahead and doing the simplest thing with the local yvr data that Slappy found: if we fit a linear trend, we see a 9.5 mC/year increase in water temperature (orange line). The black line is the average (10.04 C).

If we average over the temperature in each year and do the same we get a similar increase of 8 mC/year, but the increase is a little more obvious on this scale.

Note that this is not necessarily evidence of global warming, we should leave that to the experts. But the quick and dirty analysis does seem to show a slight upwards trend in the local temperature data.

I wonder if we'll see more shark sightings in our waters?
