Remember when the Liberal carbon tax was a conservative idea?

I do not believe in climate change....I like to think that I am ahead of the crowd when they realize this is all bullshit...

Unscientific, fraudulent? That is total BS. A5 we have been waiting all winter for you to provide some compelling scientific evidence that humans and green house gases are not significantly contributing to climate change. You have made lame excuses but your failure to provide any credible research to backup your claims says it all. Even Scott Moe admits human caused climate change is real and a serious problem.

Chuck2 I would like you to tell us how you intend to lower your C02 emissions by 30% by 2030. Since you are a large proponent of the necessity of lowering our carbon footprint you must have started doing this already. I realize you have installed solar panels but how much do you feel this will lower your total emissions? How high do you feel the carbon tax should go? Will the carbon tax change your behaviour? If the carbon tax is $100 a tonne by 2030 do you think farming will still be viable in western Canada? My understanding from the latest report that Canada is warming twice as fast as the rest of the world and that it is irreversible. Realistically emissions from one country don't stay in that country they spread throughout our shared atmosphere. If we as Canadians lower our carbon footprint do you think it will actually affect the climate in Canada? Look forward to your response.

I believe in climate change , i think most do
Otherwise there wouldnt be alligator and palm tree fossills in the arctic
What i cant believer is the arrogant airheads that think they can control it ?
Why dont we go after the real issues , smog and pollution in the big cities , Plastic and junk in the oceans and what government in their right ****ing mind would let quebec dump raw sewage in the st lawrence ???

Politicians sometimes have to say things to try and win the votes of any prospective voters.

Most things aren't only black or white....and the grey zone can be razor thin or a mile wide.

Agree why do 6 little screws or nuts have to be packaged in plastic? Seems everything we buy has to be almost individually packaged.

our attempts to negotiate with unreasonable people have yielded nothing. If we went to the enviro lobby and said farmers will get on board but we want our land recognized as a sink and paid out for it. They would just laugh and continue on their merry way and try to get their pound of flesh one way or another.

Glad to see some farmers are concerned about several environmental issues. The world needs to continue to clean up the way we live and do business. Supporting efforts to clean up the oceans, the air and fresh water are important.

But then willfully ignoring human caused climate change and denying that it is exists make no sense.

Climate change comes with a huge global cost and the massive negative impact it will have is going to cost you and I and future generations a lot of money.

I will ask again, can you point out some examples of where global warming is costing us money? Or any net negative consequences so far? Time to start living in the present instead of empty threats about some undefined point in the future. Are crop yields dropping globally yet? Health or life expectancies getting lower yet? Arable or habitable land areas decreasing? Areas being abandoned to sea level rise? Hurricanes getting worse yet? How about Tornadoes? Any unprecedented extreme weather events yet( please look up the definition of unprecedented before you trot out the usual diatribe)? What about polar bears populations collapsing, although that doesn't fit in the same category, since as their numbers keep expanding, it actually costs more to defend against them, not vice versa. Ski hills closing? What about pine beetles, can't use pine beetles as you poster boy anymore after this winter killed them off?

The only place I can see where global warming is costing you and I a lot of money, is in endless studies trying in vain to find some negative consequences, and in the lunacy that is the green energy industry. But you must have some better examples. But please remember what unprecedented means.
