They said it was climate change

[Hamloc]

So how much extra growth from increased levels of CO2 are you getting in the southern Alberta drought with higher evapotranspiration rates? None because your biggest limiting factor is a shortage of water!

That is certainly an interesting question Chuck. We had roughly 9.5 inches of rain and grew barley that yielded from 100 bushels per acre up to 120 depending on the variety. Certainly zero till has helped. Has the increased C02 made a difference? Certainly possible.

There is evidence that the benefits of CO2 will be offset by higher temperatures and hotter summers especially in some crops like Canola.

Look at Crop insurance payouts in the last 3 years. They have gone through the roof! Do you think CO2 is going make up for all the weather losses? Not a chance!

I keep seeing headlines about the hottest year ever.
I also keep seeing headlines about the world harvesting the biggest crop ever in history.
And prices seem to reflect that reality.
yet for all these years, the warmunists have been warning that global warming was going to decimate crop yields and lead to starvation.
How do you square that circle?

"warmunists"

Climate change is impacting yields but weather is still variable. So yes there will be good years and bad years.

Ask you buddies in south, some who have had several years of drought and a severe water shortage whether they think a warmer dryer climate will solve their problems?

The most important point Chuck2 is that the carbon tax or covering good farm land with Chinese solar panels isn’t going to make it rain. Making life more expensive for Canadians won’t change the weather. Building no new roads like Stephen Guilbeault wants won’t lower the average temperature. This is an ideological battle combined with fear mongering to allow the increase in size and reach of government. China and India will build enough coal fired electrical plants by 2030 that what Canada does won’t matter, that is the reality.

“Warmunists”, certainly made my Sunday AB5.

Hamloc you must be easily entertained! Look Warmunists up in the dictionary just for fun.

Yes climate change is just a commie plot, probably caused by China so they can take over the world!

Even Crypto Poilievere and Steve Harper say human caused climate change is real. They must be “Warmunists" too! LOL

Hmmm, you didn’t respond to my post previous to my compliment of AB5’s wonderful word creation. Very telling. I said climate change policies are really about increasing the size and reach of government!!

[chuckChuck]

So are Crypto and Harper Warmunists?

So I took your challenge, and looked it up. All it said was noun, see chuckChuck.
So I flipped back to the entry for chuckChuck and all it said was proper noun, see warmunist.
I suspect it has something to do with watermelons. Green on the outside, red on the inside.
