New Year's Resolution

[sumdumguy]

[QUOTE=grassfarmer;398642]I'm not one for making N Y resolutions normally but this time I'm going to try pretty hard. I resolve in the New Year not to post on any more climate change threads. As some other posters have pointed out it's an endless topic and one in which the two sides are so far apart that no-one is convincing anyone from the "other side" to change their views.
The views of the "climate change deniers" are now all over the map. Viewpoints put forward include:

There is no climate change.
It's getting colder not warmer in Western Canada.
Increased CO2 levels boost crop yields.
Increased CO2 levels following volcanic events led to abysmal crop yields and crop failures.
Increased CO2 levels following wildfires increased crop yields this year.
Increased CO2 levels over the last 20 years have led to consistent crop yield increases

Basic Fact : CO2 and sunlight are the essential components of photosynthesis, the creator’s self-sustaining food generation process. To limit this component is no less than insanity. And all for some concocted extortion scheme.

What about water? it's essential too. You'll be popular on here arguing the more water the better with no upper limit and no point at which it curtails production. The same applies to CO2.

Nothing to do with climate change, purely From an agronomic perspective, at what upper level does CO2 limit crop production? In any of my research, the benefits taper off, and don't continue to increase exponentially, as they do at lower levels, but at no plausible level do they have the opposite effect. Obviously not referring to the lower limits.

Why would I waste my time? It's all been said before. There are none so blind as those who will not see.[/QUOTE]

That is really a cop out. What I am interested in is how my farm will become more profitable because of this tax? Will it improve my access to export markets? What changes do you feel western Canadian farmers can and should make to compensate for our increased production costs? As for me being blind I am constantly anylizing where I can be more efficient like sectional control on my drill to reduce fertilizer use or putting new teeth on my drill to better place fertilizer, reprogramming my equipment for better fuel economy. You also did not in any way address what was said in the CBC article!

I am going to hang these as posters in my new gym/bar .....






All are welcome 😎🍺

To be nicer to Assholes I don’t like.

Ok maybe in 2020

The best I have heard yet is, "I have decided this will be a very good year".

Willing it to happen plus personal responsibility. It can apply to every facet of life.
