      The WSJ thinks about the same...

      "Don’t put the Democrats in charge of Noah’s Ark. It will sink."

      Notwithstanding that we are passing the 18th month of a global Covid-19 pandemic that has killed 4.3 million people and crushed national economies, the United Nations decided that what the world needs just now is more bad news, as summarized by the New York Times : “The new report leaves no doubt that humans are responsible for global warming, concluding that essentially all of the rise in global average temperatures since the 19th century has been driven by nations burning fossil fuels, clearing forests and loading the atmosphere with greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane that trap heat.” What’s more, the report says climatic destruction is going to get worse no matter what we do. I do sometimes wonder what it would be like to be alive when the world ends.

      The U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change even includes an interactive atlas depicting that global warming’s ruin will be everywhere, meaning there’s nowhere to hide. Now what?

      My short answer: Don’t put the Democrats in charge of Noah’s Ark. It will sink.

      If only for the sake of discussion, let’s stipulate the U.N.’s climate report may be right that warming is a problem. One still may pose a practical political question: Instead of mitigating the world’s climate challenge, what evidence exists that these progressive advocates—Democratic politicians or affiliated scientists—would do anything other than make it worse if we put them in charge of the solutions?

      The currently observable reality is that progressives, who have now captured the Democratic Party at all levels of government, don’t seem able to run anything anymore—not cities, not Covid, not a national border. Why would letting them run climate policy be different"

      WASHINGTON—Hours after the Senate passed a $3.5 trillion budget framework, Democratic leaders quickly confronted looming challenges in keeping the party united, as centrist and progressive lawmakers aired rival concerns over the package set to be finalized this fall.

      Sen. Joe Manchin (D., W.Va.), an influential centrist who has raised objections to previous Democratic bills, expressed alarm over the budget resolution’s price tag Wednesday, shortly after the Senate officially kicked off the process of crafting a package of antipoverty, education, healthcare and climate provisions with a predawn 50-49 party-line vote.

      “I have serious concerns about the grave consequences facing West Virginians and every American family if Congress decides to spend another $3.5 trillion,” Mr. Manchin said Wednesday. “Given the current state of the economic recovery, it is simply irresponsible to continue spending at levels more suited to respond to a Great Depression or Great Recession—not an economy that is on the verge of overheating.”

      Mr. Manchin voted to approve the budget framework, but said he hoped Democrats would “seriously consider this reality,” as they begin the work of translating the budget blueprint into detailed legislation.

      Figures released Wednesday showed inflation remained elevated in July, but there was evidence of cooling amid signs that the recent rise in Covid-19 infections is starting to weigh on the strong economic recovery after last year’s pandemic-driven recession."

        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 .

                    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.
