Finally the fog is clearing in sheepville

You need to tell that to all of my new neighbors. People can't seem to get out of the city fast enough especially this last 2 years. Work from home has made it viable. The controls that were put in for covid were the straw that broke the camel's back.
And from what I see and hear and what Realtors are saying the trend is similar in other rural areas. We just happen to have mountains and employment and recreation and relatively close access to amenities. I thought you were East or Northeast of calgary, I thought you would have the same situation happening no?

A new phenomenon in Corman Park just outside Saskatoon: plots are being reduced to less than 1/2 acre now. Before they moved to 5-7 acreages so they had privacy but our friends just moved into one of the newest where you can easily throw a tomato onto your neighbour’s deck. Just Sayin, times are a-changing.

Chuck, in recent threads, I can't help but notice that you have regressed to using a lot of gratuitous cursing and swearing in your responses to me. Is your Tourette's acting up again? Are you not taking your meds lately? What happened to the good natured Chuck who ended every sentence with LOL?

Is the stress of being wrong and losing every debate getting to you? Maybe it's time to put the keyboard away for a while and unwind.
Or are you just running out of constructive comebacks, and the incessant insults and the name calling just weren't having the desired effect, so have resorted to and even lower IQ form of communication?
If it is stress, please feel free to reach out, the agriville community is very supportive if you just ask. Other posters have brought this to my attention, they are equally concerned about your well-being right now.
Or is this just part of your strategy to try to get reinstated into the adult table? Do you think that swearing like a sailor makes you sound more grown up? It doesn't seem like a feasible strategy, considering the posted rules of the forum.

A post all about me A5, but nothing about the subject at hand?

Now you are concerned about my swearing? LOL. Lame and more lame!

You should be more concerned about the fact that you bring up absurd dumbass ideas about carbon dioxide getting low or that we need to burn coal to make it rain. Ideas that can't be backed up with any credible science.

And then you want to quickly change the subject to I am swearing too much? Oh "shit" A5 you really are getting more lame.

I guess the TC solar project must have thrown you further off your game?

Chuck, you are gaslighting again, then get mad when I won't take you bait to defend something I never claimed in the first place. This just doesn't seem to be an effective debating strategy.

But since you seem to want to discuss this, why not.

You keep bringing up the topic of particulate emissions and their effect on weather/precipitation. If I read you correctly, you seem to be in denial about this human caused climate change, and this very real, very well documented science. Or do you not "believe in the science", to quote chuckChuck himself?

Do you have any peer reviewed research to prove your assertation that particulate emissions, such as from coal do not affect weather/clouds/precipitation?

Could one go so far as to suggest that you are now a human caused climate change denier?

A5.
No, I'm SE of Edmonton a ways.
Actually, this summer houses for sale were gobbled up by people moving out of BC. So you're right some rural population will increase. But not in the hinterlands and not by what we would call conservatives

No mountain view then. That seems to be a big factor.

Buddy, zigzag across country from Edmonton to Winnepeg.

Post #17 from A5 under Electric vehicles:

"Actually, it probably would. Make it rain out there.
Rain needs microscopic particles in the atmosphere to form raindrops.
Modern internal combustion engines run so clean there's hardly any particulate emissions.
But if we are forced to adopt EVS in any significant numbers, they only way we will be able to keep them charged is with lots of coal generation. Which will result in lots of particulate emissions making it rain out there. A real win for the environment to be certain."

A5 are you trying hide from what you said? You clearly said we will need more polluting coal particles in the atmosphere to make it rain. Coal "a real win for the environment"? Huh

You don't think there are enough particles in the atmosphere from natural sources and other human activities?

I never said particulate emissions don't affect the weather but your dumbass idea is that we specifically need coal to produce more rain is what you said!

So which scientific evidence or organization can you cite for this flat earth climate change denier idea? We are waiting.

You should probably change the subject back to me as soon as possible. LOL

You are swearing and name calling again Chuck. Looking increasingly desparate. Not going to help get yourself reinstated with the adults.
Now I am confused Chuck.
Are you denying the fact that the abject failuof renewables world over has resulted in coal use is hitting new records as we "transition"? And by extension, if we increase demand by adding EV's, coal is the only source able to fill that void?

Or are you denying the most basic of weather phenomenon, and decades of research and real world observations on the effects of particulate pollution ( not to be confused with beneficial CO2 emissions)?


Saudi Aramco CEO Amin Nasser, tongue in cheek, has a particular view about the energy transition:

“If you think about it, we are transitioning to coal”

(According to the
@IEA
, global coal demand will rise to a fresh all-time high in 2023)

The only thing you got right in this rambling near incoherent post is you said "I am confused". You most certainly are. LOL

You mentioned my rather tame swearing again? You must live a sheltered life.

But you are unable to defend your statement that we need coal particulate pollution to make it rain. Or previously that we are going to run out of CO2 in the atmosphere if we don't keep burning fossil fuels.

Both ideas are so far out there that nobody takes them seriously. If anybody is desperate it's you trying to change the subject and hoping readers ignore your dumbass claims.

[AlbertaFarmer5]

You know, chuck, I think the reason you are getting so testy and irritable is because your signature debating method of gas lighting trying to force others to defend something they've never said just isn't working for you, and you have no other fallbacks.

You keep fishing, but no one is taking your bait.
