“Rex Murphy: The folly of green economics“

[binthere]

In this case changing the mind is not applicable. Deprogramming is warranted.

Is hydrogen considered green and clean? Because Alberta is going to look at using its gas reserves for hydrogen. Will Rex criticize hydrogen from natural gas too?

Hydrogen and nitrogen,both from natural gas. Better lock it in the ground and starve.

You guys have a short memory! LOL. Remember when we were discussing solar in Australia and in one of the articles I posted the system operator was clearly quoted as saying that solar and wind were the cheapest forms of generation there. Both require backup which adds cost but the reality is as a generation source they are cost effective. The southern prairies is actually a pretty good place to harness both wind and solar. But since you have already made up your mind that both are a waste of money, is there any point in looking at the numbers? LOL

Further, you arm chair experts of the pessimistic kind, seem to forget that it’s not either solar and wind or fossil fuels it’s a combination of gas, hydro, wind, solar, cogeneration, maybe coal with CCS that is in the long term plans for Saskpower with the objective of reducing carbon emissions. But you science deniers don’t believe in carbon emissions or science so there is nothing to worry about!

No doubt you will all starve and freeze in the dark because of my 25kw solar system! You seem oddly obsessed by someone else’s investment. Some farmers have A way more money invested in their pontoon boats and cottages, and camper trailers. Real money makers that get used just a few times. And remember farmers and fossil fuels are also subsidized so you don’t need to raise that red herring! Hahaha. Happy harvest! Get er in the bin Before the snow! Less time on Agrisilly and you will get more done!

The “Green New Deal” is getting a preview in California currently with all their power outages.

California is getting a preview of what climate change does to the length and intensity of the fire season.

At the peak of electrical demand because of scorching temperatures, they are losing generation sources and distribution infrastructure to wild fires.

gezus chuck, have you no limit to your nonsense? That was a man made fire. has zero to do with climate change. I suppose a combine fire is climate change too?

[chuckChuck]

More Jazz logic? Or should I say lack of logic? LOL

So increased temperatures and longer droughts have nothing to do with the intensity and severity of fires?

Regardless of who or what starts fires, climate change has an impact and the science clearly says this.

Yes they do, but let us know when that starts happening because it hasn't yet.

Temps same, cyclical and seasonal dry periods unchanged in the world. Jumping to conclusions is hardly evidence of anything.

By some estimates, many of the state’s forests have up to 100 times the amount of small trees and underbrush than what grew prior to white settlement. Meanwhile, researchers estimate that prior to 1800, some 4.5 million acres of the state’s forests burned in a typical year — more than the 1.9 million acres that burned in 2018, the most in modern history.

Yet in a state with more than 30 million acres of forest, only about 87,000 acres of California land were treated with prescribed burns last year to reduce undergrowth prior to the state’s deadly fire season, according to data from Cal Fire, the U.S. Forest Service and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management.

Interesting article on CBC Saskatchewan on how 20 locations broke low temperature records. Looking through there were some records that had stood since 1910, so in your world Chuck2 is this a trend or just a weather event? I am also interested you have many times told us how we will have more frost free days to grow crops, it certainly doesn’t appear that way to me!

Preview , or repeat ???? ......


Dam fossil fuels back then , gosh darn near 700 year drought

[furrowtickler]

Must have been this generation to blame ...


Have to blame someone, can’t be just a natural phenomenon

That’s the flat earthers scientific method. The earth looks flat right? To actually know what the trend is you need to look at the temperature and seasonal data for the last 30 - 100 years at numerous locations across the prairies. Opinion and recollection from your backyard are not considered evidence for or against. Let us know what you find out!

first fu-ken thing you gotta do is get rid of all the thermometers that are on black pavement in all the cities
start there FFS

A people wonder why you get picked on .. lol

And the CWB had 80% support eh lol
