Weather warning

[ianben]

I think everyone agrees that climate changes over time. History shows it always has and I believe always will.

The real question is are humans clever enough to knowingly dial in the climate we desire. I dont believe we are yet, by a long way and probably never will be.

Climate change is used as an excuse to do things that are probably good for the human race in general.

However there will be another ice age and another after that. 99% of life on earth is extinct an humans will be too one day

Oh for Fu## sake
there is no question on the climate change position.
Do you guys still think smoking is not harmful ?

By the way the carbon polluters hired the same PR firms that the Tobacco Industry hired to deny the health effects of smoking

What your "Position" on gravity?

Or maybe you haven't Decided on that Either

Oh for crying out load, PANICK the sky is falling!
And the HOT DRY DUSTY 30's were climate change???
All those diesel powered trucks tractors trains???
All the massive oil sands caused that???
Only blindly following TOTAL BS to scare the shit out of us for ultimate TAX grab!!!

Sorry MOST not buying, thanks Donald...
f*ck the EPA, cost us more $$$ and trouble/repairs on engines than anything.
COLD COLD Canada should have never been part of a warming scare! Best thing to ever happen...WARM

But heat warnings are part of the KEEP THEM SCARED and pay Carbon tax to COOL Canada conspiracy???

What interests me more on the original question is why do warnings get triggered at different temperatures across the prairies? I see southern Alberta has one at 29C, the same level used in northern SK and northern MB. A recent hot spell in central Alberta had warnings out at 25C but it seems southern SK doesn't trigger until 32C and maybe southern MB is the same? Presumably it's based on deviation from long term averages but still it seems to me 25C really isn't that hot for anybody on the prairies and maybe 30C is?

Seems the earth will not even hiccup at our most powerful weapons. Even Chernobyl is recovering. We don't control a thing.

Grass,
Warnings are triggered because people/society have been conditioned to expect government to provide answers/direction to what otherwise would be common sense years ago. Not too many years ago, when you saw it was going to be plus thirty, you knew what it meant. I'm just waiting for the day when a class action lawsuit against the government is launched from those who got unforeseen sunburn....hence the cautionary govt warnings that its to hot......unbelievable nowadays.....

[grassfarmer]

But why do they need warned at 25C in central Alberta but 32C in southern Manitoba? that's my point. Why not a one size fits all even if we do consider them all unnecessary?

Grassy did it have anything to do with Humidity ? 25 with high humidity could feel like way over 30.
