Climate change will knock one-third off world economy, study shows

The homesteaders had this figured out more than a century ago. They would plow a fire break around their homestead.
In russia, they work up a strip around the fields as soon as they start combining so if a fire starts it doesn't get away.

I am told that they did the same thing around the
trading forts back in the day, removed all the trees nearby to break from the forest fires or intentional fires.

Now you would need an environmental study , pay for a permit and on and on and on , just to do the reasonable thing to help prevent natural cycles.

So forest fires, heat domes, heat stress, floods, droughts, coastal flooding, and other more frequent and intense extreme weather events don't cost anything?

Only on Agrisilly!

so mr argrisilly did any of these weather events ever happen before the last few years ?

Years ago the prairie fires would spark up in the valley close to the family homestead and come up out and burn guys out. The single furrow plow ridge is still present along the top of the valley. Still customary around here someone is hooked to a tillage tool when fire risk is high. Too bad everyone got rid of their cows to control fuel loads in wastelands.

Yes, but back before the climate emergency, those events were what we called weather. Only during the climate change era are these events known as extreme climate events.

And through the modern miracles of inflation, affluence and population growth, these weather events become increasingly expensive.

crop, everybody knows climate change started in 1979. It was all wood elves and blue sky and streams for the millions of years before that.

Hmmmm …

We have set numerous high temperature records on the planet in the last 10 - 15 years and many other record extreme weather events and you guys are still talking about weather! Its only weather! The climate has always changed! LOL

Climate is measured over 30 years and our climate has changed because of human caused climate change.

You can lead em to water......but they will still say the earth is flat!

lot of eastern manitoba we are told was under water at one stage , when ? why? how did that happen ? were they burning a lot of fossil fuels back then ?

[chuckChuck]

So Crop, you have heard of the natural causes of climate change?

Now maybe it's time to learn about the human causes? Naw that would require thinkin!

Now you would need an environmental study , pay for a permit and on and on and on , just to do the reasonable thing to help prevent natural cycles.

Then you would have to consult with every first Nations who has ever set foot on that territory, compensate them, check for endangered species, ensure that the crews are gender diverse and that there are lgbtq portapotties available.
Decades later when all of the hoops have been jumped through, nature will have created a natural fire break using fire.
