Precipitation...



The offshore buoys are reading 23 feet at 17 seconds. The gauge on the deck is saying that it's rained 63 mm in the last 24 hours. I'm liking this month so far...

...also, for those interested, the Globe & Mail recently ran an interesting essay by Thomas Homer-Dixon on the factors that are increasing the pace of climate change.

"The consensus now emerging is that oceans will rise by a metre this century and perhaps even two. A two-metre rise would have enormous effects on coastal areas of Canada—on places where people live in Victoria and Vancouver (especially on Delta and Richmond in the Lower Mainland) and on the ports of Vancouver, St. John's and Halifax."

The full essay is here.
