    If you had read what David Schindler said about water supplies and the impact of climate change in Alberta he said declining and disappearing glaciers will have an impact especially in summer and fall after the spring snow melt declines.

    So yes there will be a severe seasonal shortages of river water. And then add in the increased risk and increased intensity of heat and drought and Alberta water supplies will be at risk along with all the ecological impacts.

    Reducing consumption is also important. So maybe irrigation farmers will be giving up some of their subsidized water allocations so that Calgary has enough water.

    And just like Steve Harper said, Canada needs to stop burning fossil fuels too.

      You mean like Biden calling for more Opec oil to be released. Where are the renewables?

      The oil supercycle is going to be biblical.

        I was’t aware of any irritation pulled from the North Saskatchewan.
        You have heard of Lake Diefenbaker on the south Saskatchewan? The reservoir before Saskatoon.

        So in Alberta if Calgary runs short do you think they will allow the diversion of water to irrigation farmers instead of Calgary?

            So we shouldnt be building risky hydro dams either? They will be empty. No hydropower then again equals $300 oil.

            chuck you are so economically challenged its really comical.

            Canadas water will be going into the US SW some day. Hope you are ready for that LOL.

              Tell that to Biden LOL
              If Trump did what Biden did yesterday some here would be completely freaking out .
              This is getting more ridiculous by the day

                Hey don't worry, agriculture is doing fine during the cold spring, the drought, the heat and the floods. All is well?

                Look out your window. That's all the proof you need. The world is flat...... correct?
                So you didn't block me...you just choose not to engage so you don't get schooled!

                  Keep on ignoring climate change there flea. It will go a away just like covid!

                  There is nothing to worry about! Your farm will survive the extreme droughts, floods, heat and frosts just fine.

                    Climate change. The cause of everything. I see you covered the bases well. You even threw in frosts!

                      What the report shows is that in the U.N.’s opinion climate change has already occurred. Temperature rise has and is occurring. Instead of pretending we can change the climate why wouldn’t you be proactive and look at adaptation? Increasing China’s production of solar panels from coal isn’t going to increase food production or make our production systems more resilient? It is all about fear and control.

                        Just as it has for the last 100 years! Nothing new, as much as you want to portray it to be.
