CBC didn't do any favours by using this incredibly inaccurate line:
Quote:

Canada is, on average, experiencing warming at twice the rate of the rest of the world, with Northern Canada heating up at almost three times the global average, according to a new government report.

I think that was the impetus for her search. "Rest of the world" means everywhere else, which I assume is why she set out to disprove that. Except that's not what the science says. It says it is twice the rate of the global average. Some freshman journalist re-worded it. Lots of different places on earth can warm at twice the global average, but only one place could warm at twice the rate of the rest of the world. Typical scientific journalism though.
