They said it was climate change

Well done AB5 great research/facts, to wake up the one track minded!

Any hope of waking up the one track mind is futile. He already knows everything. And already knows everyone else's inner thoughts as well apparently.

Facts will never penetrate a belief based on emotion.

But it is still fun using his own sources to poke holes in his flimsy ideological arguments, then watching the response.

Chuck, you seem really worried about the future of Agriculture in Southern Alberta.
To take a page out of your book, maybe you should tell the Southern Alberta farmers and their bankers that they are wrong.
According to the FCC land values report, Southern Alberta recorded the highest land value increases in 2023, at 9.1%. The area you think will be the worst affected by global warming increased the most.
Guess where the lowest increases were? In the place most likely to benefit from global warming, the Peace region at 2.9%
Do those farmers know something you don't? Do they not know that the glaciers are going to all melt and they will have no irrigation water left? How can it be that you know more about their climate than the business people investing millions of dollars in land in the region?

Just for A5.

Crop prices say otherwise

Just for A5.

Thank you for thinking of me.
Chuck should be along shortly to explain to you that climate is a 30 year long-term average based on a large sample size, not a single drought map.
A drought map accompanied by the acknowledgment that the warmer dryer conditions are caused by an El nino event.
And as furrowtickler points out, thanks to record crops worldwide, prices are not reflecting any catastrophic climate change. The market seems to take the opposite point of view. Just like all of the land buyers in Southern Alberta.

A5 now you are quoting CBC articles as credible!

Quite the turnaround.

But if you think hotter and dryer summers with less irrigation water will be good for southern Alberta I got some land In Arizona that I can sell if you are interested?

Geoengineering...

Someone suggested the 80 min. documentary Climate.

I watched it last night, it may change your views on big government, universities, environmental scientists and all those who believe, but for the most part probably not. It shows how Climate change has evolved into a trillion dollar business world wide.

At the1:02:46 mark when the woman says, " if you're not allowed to have that idea, you've left the room of science ", that's the reason it turned into a cult.

Much bigger scale than the Moonies of the 70's.

This will take years to unwind.

Sums up the past decade of climate lunacy

Chuck, in the Covid thread you got all distracted and posted this link as proof that precipitation is declining due to global warming.

https://climatewest.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Snapshot-Changing_Prairie-Climate-2022.pdf

As usual, you present MODELLED data claiming that global warming will have the exact opposite effect of the observed measured trend. You do this over and over again, you seem to believe that models trump reality.
Otherwise, the propaganda article you posted is embarrassing. We have been through this before, everything in the piece is based on RCP 8.5. Credible climate scientists on your side of this debate are begging the media and governments etc to stop using RCP 8.5, which is the worst case scenario, and has zero probability of actually happening. Making reports such as this based on an improbable CO2 scenario is ruining their credibility and destroying the publics trust in the actual science. And you are propagating this, you are part of the problem.
And even if your propaganda was based on actual realistic science, it does not say that precipitation will decline, it models that precipitation will increase for 3 out of 4 seasons, and decline in 1 season. While simultaneously claiming that global warming will cause floods, droughts, cold, warm, increased frequency and intensity of heavy rain and droughts, all at the same time.
In other words, they have covered all the bases, no matter what weather happens, they can claim they were right.
And to top it all off, global warming will " compound the impacts of colonialism". This isn't science, it is woke propaganda.
Are you not smart enough to read these pieces before you post them to check if they actually say what you think they say?
