London Free Press – The instability plaguing financial markets seems to have spilled over into the environment, making the winter forecast from Environment Canada a crapshoot of sorts, one of this country’s top weather gurus said yesterday.
And with the markets and federal political scene on a wild ride, senior climatologist David Phillips said Canadians are, for the first time in his career, more preoccupied with Ottawa and Bay Street than what’s falling out of the sky.
"I mean, my gosh, it seems to be politics right now or at least the economy, and weather’s taken the back seat," he said. "In this country, I never, ever thought I’d see that."
