This is why I will never believe climate change. Looks at this guy up for best actor award;


Far as I am concerned, hurricanes are good because they break stubborn weather patterns like drought.

And yet the buildings behind Anderson Cooper are clearly under around 2 feet of water (or more) themselves. In other words, extensive flood damage. If any of you have been to High River during the cleanup a few years ago, you'll know how devastating this kind of flooding is.

Looks like the damage from flooding in N.C. is going to be very costly for a lot of people. Hurricanes and their aftermath are definitely no joke! Glad it wasn't worse for sure.

My place looked almost exactly like those vids in 2014 when I had a plow wind take my shop and bins and got like 7inch of rain in a couple days in addition to the 30 inches we had the 2 months before.

Looked similar in 2011 when we got 12 ft of snow and 75% of the acres were underwater or unseedable.

Didnt see any reporters then.


If this is climate change, why arent people moving inland for good? They are still building high rises in florida which will be under water in 25 yrs.

Yeah farmers don't get much love on the news even though our livelihoods affect the entire planet's well-being. And during high water events when they allow farmland to flood to save cities, it's a real slap in the face for those farmers affected. I guess it's a numbers game, both in terms of dollars, and also people affected. Since food is easily shipped from all over the worlds these days, sacrificing local farmers often is the cheapest thing to do. In short, you're not news because you're just one person or family.

And people think the dirt is still there after the water recedes, but they don't often realize the permanent damage done by severe flooding to the soil, to say nothing of the farmer's ability to farm due to lost machines, lost buildings, etc.

I couldn't find it now, then again I probably didn't look too hard, but on one of my news feeds this morning where I first saw the weather channels "fake news" posted above, someone had posted a link to a female reporter pretending to paddle a canoe and then two guy go walking by in between her and the camera...and the water is only to their ankles lol. Amazing what some of these actors will do to get attention.

If I am not mistaken it is the worst flooding since 1945. Of course that is related to the height of river crests and not damage caused by flooding. A lot more people and infrastructure packed into the coastal areas now.

I can pick and choose whatever I want to believe in. I am yet to see any real, hard proven facts about climate change and how we are all doomed. Only numbers from people giving the stats that they want us to see, while omitting ALL the facts that could prove things one way or the other. For me to find someone credible, they have to give all the evidence and numbers that they have, even if some of those facts oppose what they are trying to prove. Only then will I listen to what they have to say. Something like a salesman, if all they have to tell you about something you are looking at is perfect, I think he is full of $hit. If a salesman tells me the good and the bad about the same piece of equipment, there is a lot better chance I would bite.

How isn't what we do affecting it? We have changed the composition of the atmosphere by 70 ppm of CO2 since 1975 through the release of 500 million years of sequestered carbon.


You are using the following argument:
Earths climate has changed in the past, and this change has been through natural processes.
Earths climate is currently changing.
Ergo, Earths climate is changing, much like in the past, due to natural process.


This argument, while valid, is also missing one key piece.

Add in the following:
Earths climate has changed in the past, and this change has been through natural processes.
Earths climate is currently changing.
Earths climate is currently changing faster than can be explained by previously observed natural processes

??



Your conclusion that it is completely natural is now no longer valid.


I'm not advocating for a "carbon tax", as that won't do ****. I'm saying that it basically spells the end for global industrial civilization.

100% support vaccinations because the science is solid. Its not speculative. You cna see the results in mere months. And I didnt get taxed to see it.


Unlike climate change, its unproven. We were told straight up in yr 2000 we would under seige from the weather. They were wrong.

Why are humans considered "unnatural"? I dont see any other species beating themselves up for their environmental footprint. Animals will hunt other species to extinction and not bat an eye. They will foul entire waterways with feces and not think twice.



If humans became smart enough to tap exploit the natural resources if this planet to the betterment of the species, thats completely natural.

For the betterment of current people maybe. But at what cost? Mass extinctions have followed when temperature varies by as much as it could. Although, maybe human extinction is the better route.

Really humans are like a virus on the planet (credit the matrix....)
But it does kinda make sense... the population just keeps growing.. and were currently trying to figure out how to spread to other planets and "colonize"....... read, infect.
Animals in nature do not have hospitals and medicine for when they get sick... when they get sick they die. Survival of the fittest and population control.

I believe weather cycles are just that cycles.... weather or not they're years or hundreds of years they're cycles. Animals are more natural than humans.... and I would like to have 2 children with my wife to do my part in maintaining the current population..... (drop in the ocean I know) all I can really say is who knows what the world will be like in 200 years and I'm kinda happy I wont be around to see it.

So for 800,000 years using Ice Core samples, the C02 was at less than 300 part per million
Over the last 100 years we’ve put the C02 to 400 ppm and rising

The people of Sask Are the Highest Co2 Emitters on the planet (per capita)
Agriculture is a Huge part of that due to off gassing from fertilizer
As we’ve increased our fert use ,our Emissions have skyrocketed

Mustard, its easy to make a mistake of scale. Run your scale back a few million yrs. You will find the earth hit those levels before anything like a human was even around. What was that cause? Whatever it was, the planet is still here and had many ices ages after wards.

So let the progressives tax us into oblivion. Let them foist upon us ever increasing regulations that sap more dollars out of our pockets. Let them make illegal chemicals to control weeds and diseases. Let them make illegal fertilizers that increase grain quality and yields. Let them starve and slaughter each other so the sane can have the planet back.

So here one for you guys,
If you Believe in Free Market Economy ,You know where The USER pays...
Then if you Dont believe in the More you use ,the more you Pay ( which is What Carbon Pricing Is)

THEN HOW DO YOU Call Your Selves Conservatives??
Carbon Pricing is the free market at work

Sometimes the Truth IS inconvenient

Explain to me why when its -30 out am I getting taxed exter on natural gas??? What the **** am I suppose to do? Turn the heat down and freeze? Its a joke, Canada makes like 3% of the worlds C02 and yet were suppose to make a diff with the Carbon tax.

Except that climate change/global warming
is predicted to be a net positive for north american agriculture in general. Yeah some people along the coast might get higher sea levels, and we might get slightly more volatile weather patterns, but how about the increase in frost free days? Heat units in northern areas?

The people getting ****** will be islanders in the pacific and people living in beach houses, not us.

CO2 is NOT POLLUTION, in fact earth will have way more lush growing plants to feed us and all animals better! Win Win!

COLDER kills all plants, warmer equals MORE plants! Step outside +5C, who the h*ll wants it COLDER?
