herbie Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 Dinosaurs are terrified by minority govt dictators and teen age girls as much as they are by needles. And uneducated enough to be proud to flog that fact as often as they can, regardless of how stupid it makes the look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbird Posted January 22 Author Report Share Posted January 22 11 hours ago, Michael Hardner said: It's not court. It's risk assessment. Risk assessment may apply when you are putting up a stop sign on a corner or holding a child's hand to cross an intersection. That is not the same things as a government leader declaring war on the man-made climate change, when the whole claim is unproven. Doing things that don't cost everyone a huge pile of money and harm everyone's standard of living is not the same at all. It is completely different when it is going to cost you and me a chunk of our income in carbon taxes, higher prices for everything, and take billions of dollars of our taxes to fight a war on climate change.

At best I throw a bit of grass seed on my lawn where it needs it and I planted 5 Hydrangeas, one of which is either dying or just barely living. Don't tell herbie though, I'm pretty sure he's gonna give me a bunch of money now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we honestly say that a few swings in temperature is climate change or just plain old fashion weather patterns...Can we honestly say the temperatures never happen before since we started keeping records... If we stop having record Forrest fires is that proof that climate change is over...last year 80% of those fires were caused by man being careless or looking for work... Thats one of the problems we have everything is climate changes fault....when a good chunk is not... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpankyMcFarland Posted February 20 Report Share Posted February 20 (edited) Whatever one thinks of climate change in general, Alberta is facing some serious challenges on the environmental front. Firstly, not enough water, especially in the southern part of the province: Quote Alberta’s water reckoning has begun in earnest. Snowpack accumulations in the Oldman River basin, the Bow River basin and the North Saskatchewan River basin range from 33 to 62 per cent below normal. A reduced snowpack means less summer water for the fish and all water drinkers. Ancient glaciers that feed and top up prairie rivers in the late summer melted at record speeds last year, the hottest on global records. Many indomitable ice packs, such as the well-studied Peyto Glacier, are disappearing altogether, wasted by the desiccating hand of climate disorder. Fifty-one river basins from Milk River to Hay River report critical water shortages due to low rainfall and high temperatures, according to the provincial government. https://thetyee.ca/Analysis/2024/02/19/Alberta-Brutal-Water-Reckoning/ And the fire season has started early: Quote https://edmontonjournal.com/news/local-news/alberta-declares-early-start-to-wildfire-season Edited February 20 by SpankyMcFarland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
