Climate Change deniers have won - Finally

Just for the record...Estevan Sask wasn't the first chosen site for the SaskPower 10Mw solar demonstration as suggested by chuck previously.

Would you believe that the reasoning centered around taking land out of production in the RM. Did the other supporters like tweety see that coming. What else do these experts miss beside the wholoe bigger picture that they choose to exempt themselves from

Just musing.

For one person to have any real impact on climate change, it would take some major sacrifices: give up the car, stop eating meat, avoid transatlantic flights and, most importantly, have one fewer child than you had planned, according to a new study by a researcher at the University of British Columbia.

So why then, the study asks, do Canadian high school textbooks still tell students to do their part by merely hanging their laundry and recycling? Especially since recycling, upgrading light bulbs and hanging laundry doesn’t cut greenhouse gas half as much as skipping out on a single transatlantic flight.

The study, by UBC PhD student Seth Wynes and Prof. Kimberly Nicholas at Sweden’s Lund University, was published Tuesday in the journal Environmental Research Letters.

No doubt that the studies authors are correct in the current energy situation. It looks like we may be headed towards less cars. Some are predicting driver less electric cars with an Uber like system along with mass transit will make owning your own car in urban and suburban areas unnecessary. Why does everyone need a car that is used only a short time each day and sits doing nothing for most of the day? Apparently lots of millennials aren't interested in owning and driving cars as it interferes with their phone screen time.

Alot of the technology that will be needed to switch from fossil energy to renewables is already here or being worked on. Net zero energy use housing technology already exists. Costs will come down with greater adoption. Whether it is solar, electric, or hydrogen fuel cells or something else, we are transitioning away from carbon based fuels. How long it takes and what the transition will look like are the big questions.

Wow, you really don't even try to find the fact that you are an outright Marxist, chuck chuck - What business of yours is it why someone wants to one a vehicle whether they use it 18 hours a day or whether it sits in their garage unused?

I'd say mind your own business - if you don't want a car or truck - don't bother owning one. But you have absolutely no business trying to superimpose your ideals on anyone else.

chuck chuck and the other Marxists on here are the ones who will be first in line to help confiscate the private property of those who have built personal wealth, they are the cohort of the Communist looters.

Too funny Burnt. You wouldn't know a Marxist if Karl kicked you in the ass. Did I say anything about restricting car ownership? I Just posed a question about the future. Burnt I think you are incapable of understanding the nuance of discussions that go over your head or are beyond your limited political views. The world will change whether you want it to or not. I know it is simpler for you to define other people views based on outdated labels. Are you still fighting the cold war from your dark dimly lit bunker?

Sure, chuck chuck, go ahead; you're free to call me ignorant and you're likely even mostly right.

But you might not want to apply that label to the Ukrainian expat who recently described to me what he left behind and is now watching the same politics slowly taking over our land, his new home.

He would apply an accurate name for your kind, based on his experience "back in the USSR" - a "cultural Marxist".

Of course since you don't like to deal in reality, you would discredit his experience as well.

But there are those of us who do not like being sold out by twisted ideologues with whom discussion is pointless.

Hey, I was at the last elders of Zion meeting.. I didn't see chuck chuck. Strange.

Anyway i think it's only reasonable to keep a close eye on solar and wind power technology just based on the potential economic value and speed of change that's happening. At some point the numbers won't lie. It will make sense to invest or not.

I would argue that the Saudis backed out of the opec agreement partly because they recognized the change that was happening and oil price manipulation outside of free market fundamentals was only excelerating the rate of change.

Some interesting topics regarding renewables and environmental technologies:

Teslas power wall and solar shingles- worth a look

"Impossible foods"- S valley co. Making meatless burgers that taste just like meat. - bill gates invested heavy into this. Does this pose a threat to animal based meat products?

blockchain technology- I don't think there will be an industry or profession that this tecnology won't disrupt.

quantum computers- will usher in some unbeleaivable changes in the next 10-20 years.


All U stuck in a box thinker farmers better buckle up! Do your kids a favour and buy them and raspberry Pi and tell them to make there own toys. They might have a chance still.

I believe Burnt can recognize a Marxist and for someone that believed so strongly in a collective state controlled grain confiscation I think I recognize one also Chucky.

Really? How could supporting the CWB which was supported by the majority of farmers for decades along with numerous Conservative and Liberal governments make you a marxist? Does that mean all the previous to Harper Conservative MPs some of which you likely voted for, were also marxists?

If that is the case, then supply managed dairy farmers (including Burnt I believe), benefit from border tariffs, managed supply and price controls, all courtesy of Government intervention. Sounds like socialism to me. Does that make Burnt and dairy farmers Marxists too along with most of the current Conservative party?

Its really hard to take you guys seriously when you come up with lame arguments.

Banana chucks very funny. Hypocritical but funny.

Funny that - it's even harder than ever to take you seriously - not that I ever did - since you just showed your "udder" ignorance, LOL!!

Your speculative abilities are again shown to be highly under-developed.

Unless having black or red calves sucking on black or red cows has been transformed into dairy farming, I've never been a dairy farmer.

But what you did here, chucky buddy, is show the typical Liberal mind in process beginning with misguided preconceptions and jumping from them to wrong conclusions!
