Rain Totals some are good some are ok and some WTF Piss all.

Question Chuck2, if climate changes as you envision it and does cause more extreme rain events which increases flooding problems in urban environments, and the government has responded by investing in electric car subsidies, electric car charging stations and public transit. Has the government spent the money where it is needed? Wouldn’t adaptation involve money spent on flood mitigation?! Will electric cars float?

I think why you have more flooding in cities is because they have eliminated lawns, and when they tighten up residential areas to just rooflines and pavement the system can't handle it all..

The water doesnt soak in , its forced to go down pipes..

City of Regina had to develop surge ponds for storm water...

Not sure it has much to do with climate change as opposed to poor city planning...


But wtf do I know...

[chuckChuck]

Governments of all types and at all levels are planning and investing in adaptation and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Even in conservative Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba there are adaptation plans along with efforts to reduce emissions. Even Steven Harper from oil soaked Alberta signed a G7 document that Canada would stop using fossil energy by 2100. Why would he do that?

The science shows there will be some benefits from a warming climate in some parts of the prairies but there will also be lots of negative changes and risk.

The biggest risk is doing nothing and assuming we can keep emitting massive amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere pushing the globe to a tipping point where the positive feedbacks put us on a track to out of control unstoppable warming.

Of course most of us will be gone within a few years or decades and most of us are only concerned about the here and now and making a living.

Live, work, family, community, friends. Think ZERO of climate scaremongering! Nothing we can do about it, except ruin our lives with useless fear of what has not happened yet, may never happen, as ALL predictions have been 100% WRONG.

Lol
FM
You need to get a life
Go fishing , go on a holiday
Have you nothing else to talk about
Me, I’m seeding last half section
Moisture and conditions are near perfect
Missed the frost
Hardly had to spray any preburn
Crops are coming nice
Global warming may 21 snow gave us some much needed moisture
The dust has settled
One of my 7 year old granddaughters just called to make sure seeding is going well !
Just sitting here listening to “stranded” by van Morrison
Every one here is healthy and I’m just contemplating how good life is right now
Yes , life is good !!!
You need to get one

[chuckChuck]

Coming from a more frequent flyer on Agrisilly! Priceless.

If it isn't an important issue to discuss why are you commenting and disagreeing so frequently? LOL

Farming is going well here too.

So why would you assume concern about the environment and climate change would stop me from enjoying life?

I would say most of the negativity about farming and Canada comes from your side of the fence. Canada's a shithole! How many times have we heard that from the cranky old muppets in the box?

Many posters don't even realize how good they have it! Its the wet diaper, cry babies who complain all the time and can't tolerate a different point of view.

Get that seeding done! You never know when the next farming catastrophe will strike.

[shtferbrains]

Canada is a beautiful country to live in especially when things are greenig up in the spring.
We have 25% or the boreal forests,wetlands,and peatbogs in the world. Plus over 25 million acres of native grassland and over 50 million acres total grassland. We have the worlds longest coastline.
And only one half of one pecent of the world population.
Don't worry Chuckie! We are doing much more than our share!
Enjoy what we have instead of the daily sermon on how bad we are.

Chuck as an X financial guy I can tell you it's fun with numbers I can make even your play farm look good on paper or look so bad you will cry all the way home.

Same with Data you can make it say whatever you want.

All I am saying weather and climate go hand and hand and if something happened 100 years ago it should be added to the data.

Stupid David Philips was saying the other day dryest spring ever my 90 plus dad said he is a idiot. What about the 30s and 61 and 80s.

Some have seen drought and dry and in 1961 it never rained so where is that data.

or the hottest day ever was Estevan and it's gone.

Manipulation with numbers to say what you want.

Wake up you have zero case and maybe read a book.

Hey SF we are still waiting on your 90 year old father to post the rainfall records you said he remembers.

Here is what the people with actual records have to say about 2020!


Moose Jaw experienced driest conditions ever recorded in area in 2020

Some regions of Saskatchewan had an exceedingly dry 2020.

Moose Jaw saw the driest conditions ever recorded in the region since Environment Canada started recording precipitation levels for the area in 1916.

Estevan had its second-driest year on record, Regina its fourth, Swift Current its fifth and Yorkton its fifth.

Environment Canada meteorologist Terri Lang said this was the second time in less than five years that there was a record low for precipitation in the area.

“It’s the driest year recorded with 104 years on record,” Lang said. “The second-driest year was in 2017. Southern Saskatchewan overall was very, very dry last year.”

The 30-year average of precipitation for Moose Jaw, according to Lang, is 365.2 millimetres annually. In 2020, the city received only 179.6 millimetres of precipitation.

The previous low for the area was 214.8 millimetres in 2017. The next-driest year after that was 1988, at 217.1 millimetres.

In 2020, Moose Jaw received roughly 49 per cent of precipitation that the area would typically get.

“It does have impacts on agriculture, but we will have to see what the rest of winter brings with respect to precipitation,” Lang said. “If this keeps happening year after year, then you have to be more concerned about that, but one year doesn’t make a pattern.”

Lang added places like Swift Current would have been a lot more dry if it wasn’t for snowstorms the city experienced in November.

“That snowstorm probably brought their stats up,” she said.

While southern Saskatchewan was dry, the northern part of the province saw above-average moisture last year.

“As dry as it was in the south, it was wet in the north,” Lang said. “It was sort of a feast and famine. When it came to Saskatchewan there were some very different weather patterns.

“For the most part, it was much wetter than average all across the north.”

And shorter growing seasons past three years across the north ... they forgot to add that tid bit lol

5 years here

[shtferbrains]

Only trees here mostly leafed out are the poplar.
The rest only have small or no leaves if the snow was deep where they stand.
Grass in the pasture slow even in spots that have lots of manure. Rain will help but need more heat.

Good points...thankfully for 6 months of the year the crazy ones don't want to live here.


Its important to think about something....could we defend this great country? Do we have the leadership to defend it?

Because in all honesty ,,,,why we haven't been invaded or taken over by another country is beyond me.

The wealth of resources this country has and we are lead by an utter incompetent fool and his team...really makes me wonder.

[bucket]

Why defend it if you don’t value it, that’s the feel I get from our government, and don’t count on the low population for future generations.

Getting any rain today bucket?

Just stared to drizzle a bit...softening it up for more if the forecast holds.

This country could not defend against New Zealand’s Boy Scouts , sorry , people kind scouts .
Absolutely nothing against our people in military, but our leadership would have them fight with dildos and rubber dinghies ⛵️ the way it’s run

Selective for sure , north of the crop land yup
This area showed above due to one heavy rain ... selective info for those with agenda
