Dr. Katharine Hayhoe was in Calgary in March, along with "Climate George" Marshall of the UK. Their mission was to get Albertans to give up facts and evidence and talk about how climate change had affected them personally - they referred to the Calgary flood of 2013 as the best example. Except, the Calgary flood of 2013 was not due to climate change - it was just one in a long string of floods dating back over more than a century. For a show and tell example, Friends of Science Society's Communications Manager, Michelle Stirling, goes to Prince's Island Park to illustrate how a great idea for a cultural island there was foiled by common sense.
