Are you seeing climate change on your farm? Farmer survey results.

"Overall, 68 percent of farmers indicated that they believe climate change is occurring, Arbuckle said. Of those, 35 percent believed that climate change is caused by both natural variations in the environment and human activities. About a quarter of farmers attributed climate change to natural changes in the environment, and 10 percent believed that it is caused mostly by human activities."
10 percent... believed it... caused mostly by human...s.
The climate is ALL ABOUT CHANGE.
Hence the reason they changed the name from 'Global Warming'... to 'Climate Change'.
AND just suppose we are heading for another ice age... then what?
We spent Trillions of $$$... making matters worse...
This is a scheeme... to get people to buy 'new' things we do NOT need... and continue the 'Micro chip' exponential growth sales program.
AdamSmith: WE do agree on the cyclical nature of climate change. Mankind is an observer but is making a very small contribution to the overall process.
This global warming/climate change hoax is big,
big business. The green revolution is sucking 30-
50% more money out of the gullible consumer's
pocket like a giant vacuum cleaner. Eco-friendly
product give people this warm and fuzzy feeling
as they zap the living daylights out of the
household budgets.
If we go 20 years in a row without frost in every month of the year, I will admit that the climate is warming - in this area.
If we continue seeing frost in every month of the year I will continue to believe we are cooling.
Telling us to send money to some socialist country or dictator somewhere so that our country can continue on our merry way will demonstrate that it is a scam.
Here in Alberta... the politically correct people are trying out a ANOTHER bigger scam to add to the Carbon Co2 job.
We are Bio-Monitoring big time... over $10M per year to check how much 'Bio-diversity' we have.
The Baseline is 'before settlement'... (B.S.) but they say publicly it is what ever the first measurement was. This is done on a grid every 10Km. Only place on the planet doing it we were told.
Private Ag land is one target.
'Conservation Reserves' of forests are being returned to pre-settlement pristine condition... (minus the forest fire conditons whenever possible)
Industrial developments will be forced to buy 'development credits' to assure the B.S. standard is maintained. This will be a 'Free Market' driven by regulations from the new Land Use Framework' Bill 36.
Easements all over our private AG land... mostly the lower 'wetlands' are to be taken out of Ag production to offset industrial/urban land use.
Today these are some of our best most fertile soils... to be secure against human activity (eg Ag)...fenced out and be 'Bio-Diversity Secure' (another B.S.) reserves. And we expect farmers to drive in circles all day around all these B.S. easements... to cleanse the industrial complex and show the world just how much B.S. we can produce!
Talk about Agricultural Fragmentation of land resourses. Now we will develop our Urban Areas... Industrialise our oil reserves... AND reck all our Ag land base for productive growing of crops all to stop 'Climate Change'!!!
This will 'Save' our environment or help 'B.S.' the world into believing we are stopping "climate change'?
How stupid do the politically correct academic vegetation think the general human population is?
Please don't answer that question... it will obviously involve more B.S. some how!!!
One astute family member commented that taking these (soon to be returned to wetland) productive low areas out of Ag Production... will in fact increase methane production... so instead of sequestering carbon into ag food production/soil... there will just be straight methane emissions into the atmosphere... skipping the human and livestock carbon sinks!
tHINKING about this could make crazy talk... you must admit Joe!!!
Fortunately for humanity our ideas and ingenuity know no bounds!
This universe/world is full of endless bounty and blessings. We have not unlocked 10 percent of the prosperity available to us... let alone what our imaginations can unlock!!!
Genesis 11:6
And the Lord said, “If as one people all sharing a common language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be beyond them. 18
18 tn Heb “all that they purpose to do will not be withheld from them.”
In East Central Alberta our climate has lost 500-700 heat units in the past 5 years.
Increased cloud cover during July and August is the biggest reason for our lost heat. Without sun light... the growing season needs to be longer to finish crops.
Early June frosts (minus 6 to 10oC)have hurt our frost free days to mature our crops.
Then we are now hit with the same minus 6 to 10oC on Sept 14.
