      Yup the current generations have shorter attention spans. Blame social media.

      If you don't want to read it. No problem. I skip over most of the threads on this site and focus on the ones I am interested in. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink.

      I see the "Libertarian censors" are back at work. LOL

            It would be best to post a link and not the entire article. Summarize the information as in B.C. was not prepared for predictable crisis. Human nature is to react after a crisis not before. Would it be politically acceptable to mandate all habitation be moved out of the flood plain?

              Individuals can't build a floodway. We can prepare ourself to a certain degree, but a lot of the work has to be done by governments. And it takes a lot of money. That's why it doesn't get done as soon as it should. Taxpayers often don't want to pay for it.
              In your article by Gary Mason it is pointed out that governments have studied what needs to be done to adapt to changing climate but he also points out that nothing was done. The problem with successive governments is that they have been all talk no action. That is the problem with governments in general in my opinion.

                On a lot of issues that's very true. But considering the budget pressure most provincial governments are under in providing health care and education their 2 largest budget items, they often just don't have enough money to go around. These are very long high costs long term investments. But as Gary Mason points out the cost of doing nothing is higher.

                    The Globe and Mail is a subscription based site so the link will not open unless you are a subscriber.

                    Its very easy to choose what you read and comment on. If there was a shortage of space on the site, which there is not, people can easily just scroll by.

                    If the administration wants to limit post size they can put a smaller limit on the number of characters.

                    If people do live on flood plains then make sure they have some level of protection. Often when there is a big flood many people will move out of the risk area but some will not. In the case of Sumas lake the ag land and livestock operations are very important. So that requires another level of protection.

                      10 billion dollars to improve dikes?

                      Sounds like government accounting.


                      You ever watch the amount of dirt they move in those gold mining shows with a few million and a bunch of wore out old junk?
                      Get at it! Don't just sit around wringing your hands and spending all the money on climate change studies.
