Alberta Climate Records

[chuckChuck]

Stick to the subject of the thread which is the changing climate in Alberta as shown by the University of Lethbridge Alberta climate records.

Show us the evidence that the climate is not changing or post somewhere else.

66 years of records is just that and only that.

But you are in agreement with data and analysis from 1951 - 2017 which clearly show a significant change in key climate indicators?

Yes, when you start your measurements close to the bottom of the cycle, and end close to the top of the cycle, it will show significant changes. Just like if you were to measure the temperature today starting at dawn, and stopping in early afternoon. Then extrapolating that back and forth in time. Completely ignoring the cyclical nature of daylight.

If Chuck is right, then this year would be a good proxy for what we have to look forward to.

We grew our best crops ever, quality and quantity. Could have farmed every acre of swamp and pasture if I had known this was coming. If this was normal, there would be 10 times as much crop land out out this far west. I assume the same thing applies on the northern fringes.

So assume we would lose acres of 20 bushel wheat ground in the Palliser triangle and replace it with 100+ bushel ground in the cooler wetter areas. For not much more fuel, chemical, seed, labor, etc. Which is better for the environment, which is more sustainable?

I need to look up the study we discussed here a while back, indicating that Canada's agriculture stood to gain from global warming. Too bad we are already entrenched into the next cooling phase though.

Quote from A5 direct from the horses mouth "If Chuck is right, then this year would be a good proxy for what we have to look forward to." Jeez A5 I may be wrong, But I don't think a lot of farmers west of Moose Jaw are hoping this is the new normal and are looking forward to very little crop again!

So was the near record and record heat in 2021 was that an indicator we are in the cooling phase? I don't think so. But it was only one year but a memorable one to be sure. But the summer of 2020 was pretty hot and dry too.

So when southern prairie farmers who suffer drought and crop loss and water shortages and increased evapotranspiration - too bad. But because central and northern grain farmers will do better - no problem? Is that your conclusion and feelings?

We are waiting for the data and analysis that shows the period 1900 - 1950 significantly impacts changes from 1951 -2017.

So paying tax is going to change that?......bahhhhhaaaaa.

Whats your point? Go back to 1900 then. Show us the data and analysis.

Aren't we talking about the period between increased carbon emissions during the industrial revolution and present day?

You do agree that increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is a proven greenhouse gas? If not don't bother with this thread.

Do higher prices (market or by taxation) for anything increase or decrease consumption?

Maybe ask Moe and Kenney why they have a carbon tax on large emitters and see what they say.

My statement was at least factual even though it didn't contribute other than to point out that simple fact.
I really don't care if you felt provoked by it. Sad for you perhaps. Enjoy the journey man.
