    Convincing people that our climate is changing has some problems:

    1. Raw data about our climate attracts little public attention as numbers are boring. Most web sites cater to climate scientists and researchers. The results are great for further analysis, but not so great for the general public.
    2. The influences on the data are complex and rarely explained in detail for the layperson.
    3. Results are seldom local; you cannot see, for example, how the temperature for your city has climbed in the last 100 years, nor its overall trend.
    4. Climate-related graphs and illustrations tend to be low-resolution, aesthetically unappealing, and too “scientific looking”.

    Such issues make it difficult to explore the data and understand the results. The following web site (with video help) addresses those issues:

    Please share the link. (The site hosts Canadian climate data at the moment.)

    I would be happy to answer any questions you may have about the Climate Reports.

    Thank you for your time.

    Sincerely,
    Dave Jarvis
