Weather warning

[sofa.king]

Why does environment canada issue excessive heat warning at 32 degrees hell it's summer on the prairies. We have been way hotter most of July in the south up to 38 and no warnings. Scobey mt radio said 90 Fahrenheit is average to slightly above for this time of year. Now it's all warnings on every media chanel.

Because the government has to feel like it's doing something good for us.....we are too stupid to know it's hot.....

[the big wheel]

I noticed it was issued by environment Canada and the climate change something or other???? Is that some kind of other division? How about just spend the money on a better forecast than convince us its climate change. Nobody knows if it's changing or it's normal or always will be random anyway.

Good point big wheel

To cover their buts incase someone sues for heat exhaustion and nobody told them it was hot outside. Standard practice is to issue heavy snowfall warnings now too if 10 cm or more expected in 24hrs. We are on Canada aren't we? Makes no sense at all.

In 1987 scientists warned us of Climate change (40 years later and Johnny Gormley and some of you are Still questioning).
The Climate IS changing and has been for quite a while.the Scientists know it The Military knows it, the insurance companies know it Exxon knows ,Even The Donald knows it (but won't admit it) pretty much Everyone knows it Except the illiterate deplorable south of us and a few on here.....

We Can adapt to too wet or too dry (to an extent). BUT it's almost impossible to adapt to Extremes From One Year to the Next

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

Well said Ian.

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?
