The only people who dislike this weather less than farmers are:

Well its a Balmy -2 in Regina This morning.

I personally like the winters in Saskatchewan at least the last two. Snow in Dec and then a shot in Jan and little in Feb then gone then showers every once and a while in March and april.

Oh it was like this back when i was in School some 50 years ago. Oh it was this way when my dad was in school some 80 plus years ago. Oh it was this way when my grand father was here many many years ago.

See we have warm winters some time then the winter from hell. We have dry cycles that i can't wait to come back and then flood cycles.

Its climate of our country. Its not Hawaii with 82 year round. Its Canada.

One god dam Volcano in Peru spews more shit into the air than all of Canada combined.

Happy Day after Earth ***** Day.

Chuck2, lets pretend that on Monday Canada implemented a $200 a tonne carbon tax coast to coast. How would this benefit the world? Would the residents in Venezuala in the coming months suddenly have access to the food and medicine they need? Would their 500% inflation suddenly disappear? Would our third world nations finally have access to enough food and clean water and modern medicine and a roof over their head and modern sewage treatment facilities or even electricity? Would it eliminate the large islands of plastic waste in the ocean? Realistically would it even affect the world's climate? The answer to all is no. It would just put you and me out of work. I would in the short term probably just become a subsistence farmer, just raise enough food to feed my family. I probably would install a wood stove to heat my home I wouldn't be able to afford natural gas. In short it would only affect Canada and do nothing for the world. End of rant.

Well sad Hamloc

[SASKFARMER3]

Well said.

Agree 100%



Time to get off this one horse pony and get on with real world problems.

hamloc You answered your own question, if you were substance farming burning wood how many 1000s of litres of diesel didn't you burn.?
sask3 I am quite sure you don't mind sack winters, your never here.
What is normal my lifetime or the lack 100/1000yr,this climate thing even the most hard nosed of you have to admit it is not what it was 40/50 yr ago. As for volcanoes there is dam little we can do about them but adding our contribution on top probably doesn't help.

It's funny how scientists know exactly how warm and much carbon was in the atmosphere millions of years ago but they can't predict weather with any accuracy 1 or 2 days out but we should believe climate change bullshit 100%.

It's actually kinda amusing when you put it that way. :-)

Pre history theories have changed and evolved many times in the last century. But this time we are so absolutely correct that any questions invoke complete scorn. Sounds like some would rather be heros of the world for leading the way. Me I'd rather keep my standard of living secure while participating.

GrassFarmer and ChuckChuck, I suppose I didn't really expect you to read my disclaimer about weather vs. climate, and obviously you disregarded it. I said nothing about global climate or temperatures, just local observable conditions which we all have to tolerate, and against which we are constantly preached about changing our evil ways. Few of us have travelled enough, or been alive long enough to comprehend global climate change, but we all know the conditions out our front door every day, days like today even more so.

And on days like today, I offer my respect and sympathies to people such as yourself who want to tell the rest of us that this type of weather is preferable to warmer. Put aside science, global views, historical context, etc. because none of that helps a cold wet calf born in snow in the end of April, and go tell a Canadian farmer that he needs to sacrifice because this is better, not an enviable job.

It is likely a much easier sell if you happen to be in Bangladesh, they would be very open to the idea of Canadian farmers sacrificing, and sending money there, to a place where warming would be a genuine threat, but you've chosen instead to educate Canadian farmers, not an enviable position on a day like today, you get full points for not choosing the easy road.

There is very little point discussing this issue when many of you don't believe in science and evidence based decision making.
