SARM is an embrassment with CO2 resolution!

The Prairie Adaptation Research Collaborative (PARC), the Prairie
Climate Centre (PCC), and the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD)?

Here is a list of the risks and opportunities for prairie climate change from 3 research organizations from their Executive Summary

And a lot of the risks we are already experiencing.


Executive Summary
The Canadian Prairies is a hotspot for climate change—not just
within Canada, but across the world.
The region is projected to warm much faster than the global average.
Risks to ecosystems, communities, and economies will be substantial.
The Prairies are projected to continue warming even if large-scale,
international emission reduction efforts are made today.
Along with global mitigation efforts, local adaptation to climate change
will be essential for future prosperity in the Prairies.

Forest fire
1. Hotter, drier conditions;
increased evaporation creates
drier fuel
2. Longer fire season
3. More lightning strikes igniting
more fires

Drought and flood
1. Increased frequency
and intensity of heavy
rain events
2. Decrease in summer rainfall,
increase in drought
3. Increase in risk of
flash flooding

Extreme weather
1. Hotter summers
conducive to warm-season
extreme weather events
2. Milder winters, more
rain-on-snow events
3. Weather whiplash events
becoming more frequ?ent

Agriculture
1. Favourable conditions for
pests and disease, both new
and established
2. More heat stress and variable
water supply
3. Longer growing season

Ecosystems and wildlife
1. Vegetation zones and
ecosystem shifting northward
2. Loss of alpine habitat
3. New invasive species
and pests

Health
1. Extreme heat increasing
heat-related stresses
2. More wildfire smoke,
more respiratory problems
3. New and growing
insect-borne disease?

Transportation and
infrastructure
1. Unstable permafrost
2. Potholes and cracks
3. Road and bridge washouts

Tourism and recreation
1. Travel restrictions
from forest fires
2. Poorer quality of snow
and ice due to warmer
winters
3. Reduced winter tourism
seas?on

Urban and rural
communities
1. Impacts on water availability
2. Damage to infrastructure
3. Impacts on community health?

I guess we are PHUCKED, carbon tax not working, maybe by 2060, at this rate we are TOAST!

You never answered, is this due to the 3.225% of C02?

Or the 96.775%?

[chuckChuck]

Are you going to ignore all the extreme weather records set in the past few years and the record forest fire season along with a record smashing hottest planetary year on record in 2023?

[cropgrower]

Yes we wont forget that their was idiots starting fires , and idiots telling us it was climate change

[chuckChuck]

So it was only arson that contributed to the record number and area by a wide margin of forest fires in 2023!

It wouldn't have anything to do with a hot and dry spring and summer?

Nobody takes the arson is the only cause seriously Crop! Thats just more crap!

[cropgrower]

we know you would believe whatever the TV says !

[chuckChuck]

"What ever the TV says" LOL Thats pretty lame, even for you crop. Crop, You have heard of other sources of information besides TVs haven't you?

And you are going to stick to the boneheaded idea that the cause of forest fires is just arson!

It seems to me the higher the c02 and temp. line on a graph the more government money comes your way. Or the premise the media is telling us, humans are causing global warming, but what they are really saying is, basic needs of humans to improve their right to survival is causing weather change. This funding will partially disappear after the next government takes over as huge deficits will be very high on their priority list. Perhaps some climatologists will re-examine their data and make subtle adjustments.

At one time I thought the PM genuinely believed [through questionable data by scientists] that he could slow climate change by taxing consumers.
This belief all came to a sudden halt after the PM turned down Japan and Germany when they came shopping for NG from Canada. Both of these countries use coal to generate about 35% of their electricity.

The PM said it wasn't a good business model . . . i think the address of the business was the killer of this deal, I've heard him say coal generates more carbon emissions than NG so we know he understands that, but perhaps if the source of natural gas was further east the business model would all of a sudden be proof the "Liberals continue as well as eastern Canada continues to be leaders and together we will both continue promoting lower emissions through out Europe and Asia".

Wealth in western Canada is just bad.

But more people are realizing its a huge scam, taxing money in, then refunding the same money out administered by 465 staff costing almost 80 million a year and lets not forget the 5% GST tax on the carbon tax puts a grin on the many faces of the Dept of Finance. It's the perception of receiving free money from the government, many will fall for this great gift from the liberals.

This relationship between the liberals and Canada is comparable to a balcony and tequila.

Vote accordingly.

Sounds pretty phucking STUPID, Doesn't it CC?

[chuckChuck]

So there is a huge cost to doing nothing about greenhouse gas emissions and a smaller cost in the long run to change to low carbon energy sources.

But of course most of you pretend fiscal conservatives would rather let the next generations pay for all the human caused climate change costs?

Just like the oil industry wants taxpayers to clean up the oil wells and messes they leave behind. Tens of thousands of oil wells drilled through potable water aquifers with casing that will eventually fail. What possibly could go wrong?
