[Landdownunder]

Prick of a screen shot. 38c up to 50 kms winds and truenos y relámpagos not nice recipe.


Fires here there everywhere 16 to 20 mm in quick time extinguished

[QUOTE=Landdownunder;

Warmed up here [in C Alberta the last day] to -2c!!! Supposed to stay much warmer like this for a week!

Cheers

[Landdownunder]

Yup

Hope you get the showers and not the fires.

Your near your longest day with 6am sunrise 9pm dark?

What is your shortest?

We are extreem here.
Was dark by 445pm and first light after 830am.
Longest summer here first light around 2am with lots of birds sing by 230am. Kind of dark at about 1030pm but you can see some light across the north almost all night.

You have parrots in the morning there? On the Pampas parrots make a god offal noise in the morning.

So A5 questioning the science applys when duly qualified climate scientists question each other through peer review and analysing data and conclusions, but it doesn't apply when unqualified self declared arm chair "experts" like yourself make claims that we need more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere not less.

So which climate scientists and their organizations are saying that we need more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere not less?

None!

If there were credible scientific organizations making the claim that we need more greenhouse gases, you would have provided the names and links by now.

But so far all we get from A5 is crickets and cartoons!

You can never go wrong by observing and establishing facts

BC has had a GHG reduction plan since 2008. https://www.env.gov.bc.ca/soe/indica...emissions.html

This is a topic I have looked at many times. Nice to see it on a graph. B.C. carbon tax was implemented in 2008. Proponents point to how ghg emissions trended down in 2008-2009, bottoming out in 2010. They ignore that Canada and B.C. were in an economic recession during that time period. Since 2010 B.C.’s carbon tax and B.C.’s emissions have continued to go up. I have pointed this out many times. Then they argue, but emissions per capita have gone down. Yes they have in B.C. And in every Canadian province whether they had a carbon tax or not! In fact in the provinces of Nova Scotia, P.E.I. and Ontario the ghg emissions per capita decreased at a much higher rate during the same time period without a carbon tax. A carbon tax is nothing more than a sin tax on fossil fuels, sin taxes on alcohol haven’t reduced consumption!

What do you think Chuck? Will $27,000 per tonne of CO2 be enough to get that graph going the other direction? Or will people still be unwilling to go hungry while freezing in the dark?

Carbon Pricing in High-Income
OECD Countries
Jairo Yunis and Elmira Aliakbari

https://www.fraserinstitute.org/sites/default/files/carbon-pricing-in-high-income-oecd-countries.pdf

According to the Fraser Institute Canada has close to a revenue neutral carbon tax.

"Canada recycles 90 percent of its carbon tax revenues through
household rebates, called Climate Action Incentive payments, with the remaining 10 per-
cent being used to support particularly affected sectors such as SMEs, municipalities, uni-
versities, schools, colleges, hospitals, NGOs, and indigenous communities (PBO, 2020)"

Carbon taxes along with regulation are already having an impact on electrical generation in Alberta and Saskatchewan and making coal obsolete as coal is being replaced by cleaner natural gas with half the emissions.

At the consumer level most consumers are rebated most of their carbon taxes and if they reduce consumption, will have money in their pocket from the Climate Action Incentive payments.

In our case we paid about a days wages of $220 carbon tax for farm natural gas in 2021 and almost no carbon tax on our electricity because we have a solar system. And we received about $800 in a carbon tax rebate.

Our farm diesel is exempt from carbon taxes.

The federal government is providing more carbon tax relief for farmers.
