Climate Change Puts Buildings, Coastlines, The North At Most Risk: Report Extreme wea

[chuckChuck]

When you cast a vote for Andrew Scheer you are casting a vote for a party that believes in human caused climate change and their goal is to meet the the Paris Climate targets on greenhouse gases. No doubt Scheer and the CPC are a a bunch of socialists too! LOL

You better not vote for a "socialist" party that has a global plan for green technology and reducing greenhouse gases. Remember Harper said no more fossil energy by 2100!

Andrew Scheer’s Climate Plan

Conservatives have a proud legacy when it comes to protecting Canada’s natural environment and improving Canada’s environmental performance.

And Andrew’s plan – A Real Plan to Protect Our Environment – builds on this proud legacy.

These new policies will further lower Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions and strengthen environmental protections – without taking money out of Canadians’ pockets.

It is built on three policy principles:

Green technology, not taxes
A cleaner and greener natural environment
Taking our fight against climate change global

A Real Plan to Protect Our Environment is Canada’s best chance to meet the Paris targets, without a carbon tax.

So who will the flat earthers vote for? Can't vote for Scheer other wise you are supporting action on climate change!

[seldomseen]

I will ask again
So chuck are real estate prices collapsing in costal regions?

That's how you have a credible debate Chucky! Instead you just insult us.

[tubs]

chuck just because the liberal broadcasting corporation says so does not make it a fact on CO2 we are talking about going from .004% to >.0045% if that is going to be a disaster , there is a lot bigger fish to fry than that.

Chuck, you really do get it, as you correctly point out, we don't have a choice in this election. It is either the liberals, or liberal light. Either way it will be more economy wrecking policies, in direct contradiction to the policies of our largest trading partner. Our only choice to get out of this death spiral is to get out of the country. And that is the direction we will be taking.

This report is terrible news for liberals because it concludes the ‘West’ will benefit from ‘Climate Change (TM)’. That really drives liberals nuts, they will only be happy when we have redistributed the wealth to the developing countries to surpass us.

So who will the flat earthers vote for? Can't vote for Scheer other wise you are supporting action on climate change!

Vote for Scheer as I fully expect him to be a good Conservative and pay lip service to the leftist garbage to get their votes, then do exact opposite. Just like Doug Ford did with the moderates in Ontario telling them no teacher would be fired, hahaha. 20 full time teachers and 18 support staff getting pink slips locally. Just like climate change, moderates and leftists fall for anything if it's repeated enough times.

Let me know when coastal properties in the US and Canada Lise their value , even a bit ... then will see if anyone is worried.

"Rising sea levels have forced homebuyers to change the way they value waterfront property.

From 2009: "Insurers have already begun cancelling homeowners’ policies in high-risk areas and raising insurance costs in potentially impacted locations. In Florida, Allstate dropped 320,000 policies between 2004 and 2007, and is no longer writing any new policies in that state.

“By comparing properties that are virtually the same but for their exposure to the seas, researchers at the University of Colorado at Boulder and Pennsylvania State University found that vulnerable homes sold for 6.6 percent less than unexposed homes.

Moodys economic rating service says we in Canada
will benefit from climate change.

Most of the hurt will come from lower oil prices if cut back happens as predicted.

CBC says so.

Expect that link to disappear.

Sorry, didn't see the link above.

Democrats live by water, maybe they are not optimistic about the future?

That's how you have a credible debate Chucky! Instead you just insult us.

So I answered your question will a number of credible studies and actual data. Not models or forecasts. I hope your rebuttal/debate is fact based and not insulting like you accuse chuck of doing. Oh and seldomseen, are you going to call out macdon for his response for his response that added nothing to the debate like you did to chuck? Just wondering.

[chuckChuck]

Great to see that some of you agree with Moody's assessment that climate change will have a significant cost for the majority of the worlds population. Its no surprise that wealthy countries that have the resources to mitigate climate change and adopt a low carbon economy will come out on top.


https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/climate-change-moody-s-1.5199652

The IPCC report concluded that the economic impact of a two-degree rise in global temperature could be as much as $69 trillion US, and even limiting the rise to 1.5 degrees would come with a $54-trillion price tag.

The Moody's report took a deeper dive into those scenarios, and tried to break down how different parts of the planet would see their economies impacted by a hotter climate. Broadly, the Moody's report breaks the impact of a hotter planet into six areas:

Rising sea levels.
Human health effects.
Heat effect on labour productivity.
Impact on crop yields and agriculture.
Tourism.
Energy demand.

By Moody's own admission, the report doesn't calculate a number of climate change impacts that are likely to affect the economy, including the increased likelihood of expensive natural disasters. The costs of those storms are already enormous, and growing quickly.

As Moody's notes, "every dollar that federal lawmakers appropriate for disaster relief is a dollar that could have otherwise been spent on [programs] or rebated as a tax cut. Natural disasters drain the federal government of resources and exacerbate the nation's fiscal situation."

Nor does Moody's tabulate the economic impact of geopolitical risk from things like climate refugees.

"Slower economic growth in the most affected countries could prompt residents of those countries to relocate," Moody's said. "If the degree of emigration is large enough, it could put strain on certain countries that are receiving the immigrants," Moody's said, noting how immigration has already become a thorny political issue in the U.S."

I just asked a question that I did not know the answer to to Chuckles because he seems like an expert in these matters and he comes back and calls us Flat Earthers!
You DML came in with your post after.

Maybe dml should take a trip to florida or the netherlands. Dont seem to worried about climate change there and thats the one state that could flood. Netherlands build dykes to keep the ocean outm then farm the interior and put solar panels and windmills in there. Dont seem too worried. Truth is the sea levels are rising by mere mm per yr and only areas already with people living at sea level (and shouldnt be) are at risk. So move a few miles inland if you are so worried.
