Some day, Chuck will find himself on the right side of history.
Today is not the day.

Because of climate change the increased number and severity of fires has doubled the amount of area burned in Canada since the 1970s and it is expected to double again by the end of the century.

And most fires are caused by lightning and humans and not because of arson.

Are you familiar with the Alberta Special Areas?

They were created because much of the topsoil blew into Saskatchewan in the 30's.

Your last statement stands the test of time.

PFRA was started in 1935 for that very reason, but Ritz Cracker with his vast knowledge of farming (ostriches) gutted many of it's programs once he became Ag minister.

[chuckChuck]

He was stupid enough to say farmers don't need trees.

I guess he hadn't seen all the PFRA tree rows across the southern prairies that reduce wind speeds, trap snow, act as wind breaks for cattle and farm yards, increase humidity and improve crop production.

His head was up his arse like an ostrich in the sand!

CC…. Do you ever look in the mirror?

Right back at you…. Planting trees CC… I never heard Minister Ritz once … tell farmers not to plant trees in circumstances that warranted doing so….

Many were ripping them out… because zero till radically changed soil conservation… not at all the case with summer fallow and deep tillage each fall.



Taxpayers should not be responsible for EV purchases… Carbon credits… so many many subsidies that make no economic or rational logical common sense.

Blessings… praying for rain!!!

Ritz Cracker also gutted the Community Pastures Program that was run by PFRA.

While you pray for rain daily for yourself Tom, do you not think the Cattle Ranchers in NW Alberta wouldn't mind that program being around right now as their pastures and hayland dry up?

Tom, maybe you should look in the mirror and ask your maker a few questions about yourself as he knows the truth.

I feel singled out…

One could wonder at the correlation between increased fires since the 70s and increase in population as well as activities in fire prone areas. Even without getting into changes in management preferences having unfortunate repercussions.

But why would one do that when one could just say “ClImAtE cHaNgE”.

As for trees, well, it’s not like they will even really grow in many places. Hard to say we all need them when some of us may live places that trees, and even bushes, are hard to establish and keep alive.

Or it could just be because the date range was Cherry picked to hide the actual long-term decline in all measures of forest fires. As with most things in climate change, the data is Cherry picked to suit the agenda. And when reality contradicts the data, start your own fires.

[chuckChuck]

And the climate change deniers rely on cherry picked data and off the rails boneheaded ideas like we are going to run out of C02 if we don't keep burning fossil fuels!

Show us any credible science organization that says that the number and area of forest fires is not increasing a long with the intensity of fires and that climate change is not having a role.

We are waiting.
