Oct 28 Harvest report

[FarmJunkie]

It’s simple DML. It’s the sun has gone into a cooling phase and it effects our weather....period. There is no warming. Hasn’t been for years contrary to the climate nazis. It’s gonna get worse so here in Canada we need to grow shorter season crops use a bit bit less fert and try and have soil prepped so it gathers heat to help crops emerge quicker. Hate to piss off Crazy Mckenna but we are gonna burn whatever it takes to stay warm including fossil fuels. Unfortunately we can’t control the sun and that’s what pisses me off when these government puppets try and blame us for the weather changes. Worse when u tell our kids it’s their fault. I feel for u when u say u have struggled to finish. Not sure if u have a dryer and heaters on bins but all those things are gonna help u moving forward. Just think about the fact that our weather means nothing without the sun. If it’s gone this debate is over! Good luck. Hope we can get some weather for those that have crop out.

dml, can you find anything in the historical global warming literature specifically predicting that western Canadian growing seasons would be shrinking on both ends, and growing season heat units would fall, which farmers could have used to prepare for this eventuality? With all of the money spent on modelling and forecasting global warming, surely this outcome must have been predicted somewhere? Not a vague statement about a slowing jet stream causing prolonged periods of stuck weather( which would be in the order of weeks, not half a year or more, as this pattern has been, at least here), but actual useful information that we could have used to plan accordingly.

If not in the scientific literature, then even in the media, or political class, or pundits? Because all I remember reading predicted the exact opposite outcome.

You talk of insensitivity, of kicking people, of being malicious jerks. I dare every participant on this forum to go through every post on this thread and compare the number of times I verbally abused someone to the number of times I was called names, insulted, and attacked verbally. AF5, start with your own "a,b,c, post" and ask your self if each of the three answers you propose were not actually a personal attack. Lets see who really are the jerks doing the kicking on this site.

And dml, I have previously acknowledged that you are in a class far above the rest of the global warming attack and insult crowd on this site. You genuinely do seem to understand the science ( or lack thereof), and make an effort to back your opinions up with the facts. Instead of resorting immediately to personal attacks, as is Chucks style. And I thank you for that. I enjoy debating you, and wish you would contribute more often.

Dml here is an article from the CBC dated April 1,2019:"Canada Warming at twice the global rate, leaked report finds." This is certainly not my experience where I live in central Alberta. The last 4 harvests have been a challenge. Where 5 years ago no one in my area had a grain dryer, 2/3's of my neighbors do now. I was talking to a neighbor at the curling rink last night, he said out of 170000 bushels of grain produced only 20000 were dry. They had just gone over 100000 bushels through the dryer, 50000 to go! Unfortunately farmers will put in drying systems and then get progressively bent over by Trudeau's carbon tax.

Lots of information on climate change if you do this search for "climate change impacts on canada's prairie provinces" on Google Scholar

Listen to this headline and use logic. The sheep in front of the TV in Toronto will just drool over this.

But if everyplace is rapidly warming and Canada is warming twice as fast, that's an exponential rise in temp here in Canada. Logical or an alarmist propaganda headline? Double the warming in a place that gets half the solar energy as the rest of the world?

Whats wrong Wiseguy? You don't have anything intelligent to add to the discussion?

And after you are done in the fiction section, you will find there is zero evidence for anything like that remotely close to happening and hell of a lot of real evidence out your window this season.

I can see there is hope for dml. I see only hopelessness for chuck. His day starts with cbc and cnn and then tune out.

Are you still confused about the difference between climate change trends over long periods versus seasonal weather variability?

No, one exists and the other is pure fiction.

If CO2 is bad, why do they want to put 100M extra people in Canada? Answer it chuck. Actually use your brain for once. Show us your critical thinking skills.

[sumdumguy]

You mean the long-term trends where 100 years of actual data is expunged? Or manipulated?

I know, I know....can I take a stab at the answer?????

Its to reduce the per capita pollution.....not actually reduce the pollution...


BTW how many Canadians wear paper masks all day like they do in China....and yet we worry about our emissions...actually sacrifice our economy...

Great, can you direct me to the studies that predicted what we are experiencing? Yours and mine tax dollars paid for many of these studies, I hope there was some useful information that I missed that would have allowed me to prepare for this outcome of global warming.

You will find all the info under “low sunspot activity” predictions

Last Week
Any guesses as to harvest progress last week? It will be interesting to read the latest report.

Notable stats from last week, as of Oct 21:

55% of flax still out
21% of canola still out
16% of spring wheat still out
Crop district 5A only 47% done

I think there will be good progress to report for the past week in many but not all areas.

This week looks like next to 0% is going to happen

This Week
38% of flax still out
12% of Canola still out
8% of spring wheat still out
Crop District 5A is up to 71% done

Maybe 1.2 mmt of canola still out, just in SK. Half a Billion $?
