Abrupt, climate-induced increase in wildfires in British Columbia since the mid-2000s

[sumdumguy]

Feds sent two fire chiefs to UN to beat the drum on climate change. Kelowna’s fire chief can’t figure out why buildings burn when planted amongst tall pines and no fire breaks surround the city. Hmmm, how dumb do they think the rest of the world is?

i guess Chuck was right. The glaciers are melting so fast they will be gone in less than 30 years according to this article.



My mistake, that dire warning was from 1921when CO2 level were 300 PPM.

I ask again, in what year did man made CO2 levels start the glaciers melting?

[cropgrower]

i have lived long enough to see that all the predictions were and are garbage

[AlbertaFarmer5]

But weren't telling us that we are in danger of too little CO2 and another ice age?

Do you think the glaciers would be receding if we are heading into another ice age? LOL

You are deflecting again.
What year did the glaciers start melting?

Here is some of David Schindlers work at the U of Alberta on climate change, loss of the glaciers and the affect on river flows.

Reduced Summer River Flows

Many summer river flows in Alberta have changed drastically over the last century, and the graphs below show various summer river flows in Alberta. The flow reduction further downstream in the South Saskatchewan river is even more severe. At Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, the flow has dropped to 20% of that at the beginning of the 20th century. Summer flows are very ecologically important, for such things as fish spawning and rearing, and riparian sustenance. They also provide water for human uses such as irrigation.

Glaciers

This is Athabasca Glacier in the Columbia Icefields of Banff National Park. The picture on the left was taken in 1917, while the one on the right was taken quite recently. This glacier loses 16,000,000 cubic metres of ice each year. Agriculture in southern Alberta depends largely on irrigation, and glaciers help by holding snowfall and slowly releasing it during summer months. When the glaciers disappear, river flows will be higher in the spring, but lower in later summer. This could have a significant impact on irrigation in southern Alberta. The ecology of the rivers will also be greatly affected.

And here is the prime cause of relatively accelerated temperature increases and glacier loss. Human's emitting very large amounts of CO2 and other greenhouse gases.

Note that the current CO2 levels are far above any of the interglacial periods during the last 800,000 years.

And who was testing CO2 all them years ago ? pure garbage

[chuckChuck]

Crap, Ever hear of CO2 captured in ice cores? Probably not! LOL

https://icecores.org/about-ice-cores

Ice cores are drilled in glaciers and on ice sheets on all of Earth's continents. Most ice cores, however, come from Antarctica and Greenland, where the longest ice cores extend to 3 kilometers—over 2 miles—or more in depth. Ice cores from the cold interior regions of polar ice sheets provide exceptionally well-preserved and detailed climate records. This is because the lack of melt at these locations does not corrupt the record of trapped gases or blur the record of other impurities. The oldest continuous ice core records extend to 130,000 years in Greenland, and 800,000 years in Antarctica.

so that means it was a lot warmer back then before the ice built up , explain that , pure garbage is my expert opinion
