They said it was climate change

[chuckChuck]

Personally I think there are many contributing factors to increasing average yields but the fact remains they are increasing!

So you dont think its only CO2 like your buddy A5? Good decision.

Chuck, no one seems to be taking the bait of your strawman arguments. Perhaps it is time for a new tactic?

Have you considered honestly answering questions other posters ask you, instead of deflecting with silly strawman arguments?

For example, you made this completely disproven statement:
When looking at food production around the globe there is plenty of evidence that climate change is having a negative impact on food production.

And I asked you to provide an example.

Have you come up with an example to back up your assertion?

If you do answer that question Chuck, try avoiding known sources of propaganda and fake news.

That’s why greenhouse owners install CO2 generators, to increase production.

Perhaps chuck could indicate where he sees the footprint of catastrophic global warming on these graphs.

Look no further than the drought and declining water supplies in Southern Alberta for the last few years. Glaciers are shrinking and the snow pack has been much less than normal and irrigation reservoirs are very low. And farmers have seen their production fall as the drought continues.

No doubt you are going to say its just weather and rising temperatures along with rising CO2 are good for us!

"The Canada Research Chair in Water Resources and Climate Change says eastern and southern Alberta are facing some of the worst drought conditions on record – including the Dustbowl years of the 1930s and the severe drought of 2001-01

"That drought extended over parts of the province from 1999 to 2004," said John Pomeroy.

"We've had lower river flows in '22-'23 than we did back in that drought. So hydrologically, the drought we're in now is worse than that."

He says the snowpack in the Rockies is overall around 70 per cent of the median for this time of year, and the recent warm spell has started significantly melting.

This week, avalanche professionals warned of spring-like conditions in the mountains.

Snowpack and glaciers help keep reservoirs up, limit low water levels during summer months and keep rivers cooler and better oxygenated.

"It's lower than it was last year at this time, and last year turned out to be a disaster," Pomeroy said. "So I'm quite concerned."

Reservoirs are also well below normal levels, with not enough water in the mountains to replenish them.

Spray Lakes, for example, was five metres below normal before icing up in November.

Oldman Reservoir and St Mary Reservoir are also extremely low, sitting at 28 per cent and 15 per cent respectively.

The province held a stakeholder town hall meeting on Tuesday to discuss water licenses and drought concerns for the coming year.

In the town hall, Environment and Protected Areas Minister Rebecca Schulz was asked about what happens when there isn't enough water in river systems to fulfill the water licenses downstream.

we were hearing that exact same garbage about california , drought , climate change , bla bla bla then what happened ? water levels are as high as ever now again

So when someone presents anecdotal evidence of vaccine injury from a small sample size, Chuck drones on about statistics and sample size.
But when a small near desert known as the Palliser triangle experiences yet another drought, it overwhelms all of the evidence that global warming and higher CO2 have been beneficial for crop yields.
What happened to sample size and statistics?

Let's just keep pretending that the glaciers haven't been melting for 12000 years.
