SARM is an embrassment with CO2 resolution!

Took the time to watch this last night. It would be great if more people would watch it. I can't help but wonder how we got to this point. I guess the old maxim “if you tell a lie often enough it becomes the truth” comes to mind.

No doubt its just more anti science climate change denial crap!

Just like the SARM resolution that says we should get credit for CO2 sequestration but increasing CO2 levels are not a problem. Huh?

How much more drought, heat and forest fire smoke will some of these rural councilors need before they change their mind?

[shtferbrains]

You do know that Canada is one of the world's best carbon sinks.
Did you check out the recent NASA data showing that Chuck?
All our current government gives us it the story that we are high carbon producers per capita.
Have you ever looked out the window of the airplane at night when coming home from a high population area that was all lit up as far as you can see an when you start getting close to where we live it is pretty much black dark with a very odd light?
That doesn't take a study to see who is producing Co2 and who is sinking it.

[chuckChuck]

Carbon sinks do release carbon in the natural carbon cycle which was more or less balanced for thousands of years until the industrial revolution started releasing CO2 on a grand scale.

And Canadians are some of the highest emitters per capita on the planet.

And that's why we are planning to reduce carbon emissions from the unnatural source called fossil fuels.

There is no policy to reduce or vilify natural carbon emissions.

Its the human caused releases they are working on. But SARM delegates can't tell the difference?

sooooo…….youre telling me you did not watch it ? Nothing like keeping an open mind CC..It strikes me as odd that you as a farmer ( assuming you actually are a farmer ) would not support a resolution regarding western Canadian farmers improved farming methods. I can only imagine how things would be arranged if the Quebec/Ontario farms were leading the world in zero till. Just saying. Anyway CC I am not going to get into a pi$$ing match with you have a happy Easter or a nice long weekend whichever suits you.

More or Less Balanced? Define balanced?
CO2 levels have been more than 25 times higher than today, and have been less than half of todays levels.
The miniscule blip of the industrial level isn't even visible on a long term graph of CO2 concentrations.

Historic CO2 levels were about as balanced as everyone's favourite Agriville troll is mentally and emotionally balanced, who wobbles between mild mannered faux intellectual, to an unhinged maniacal 3 year old having a temper tantrum replete with insult and expletive ridden vitriol.

More climate change denial crap? Why not go back a few billion years ago to the big bang and compare the climate?

We are talking about climate change since the industrial revolution. Agriculture only started about 10,000 years ago and homo sapiens have only been on the planet 300,000 years but you want to go back how many million years ago to compare climate?

Give up!

GEOCARB was a NASA initiative, are you referring to anything from NASA as climate change denial crap?

[chuckChuck]

So A5 now you think NASA is credible on climate change! Good to hear!

The rate of change since the mid-20th century is unprecedented over millennia.

Earth's climate has changed throughout history. Just in the last 800,000 years, there have been eight cycles of ice ages and warmer periods, with the end of the last ice age about 11,700 years ago marking the beginning of the modern climate era — and of human civilization. Most of these climate changes are attributed to very small variations in Earth’s orbit ([url]http://climate.nasa.gov/blog/2949/why-milankovitch-orbital-cycles-cant-explain-earths-current-warming/[/url]) that change the amount of solar energy our planet receives.

• While Earth’s climate has changed throughout its history ([url]https://www.climate.gov/maps-data/climate-data-primer/past-climate[/url]), the current warming is happening at a rate not seen in the past 10,000 years.
• According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC ([url]https://www.ipcc.ch/[/url])), "Since systematic scientific assessments began in the 1970s, the influence of human activity on the warming of the climate system has evolved from theory to established fact."¹ ([url]https://science.nasa.gov/climate-change/evidence/#footnote_1[/url])
• Scientific information taken from natural sources (such as ice cores, rocks, and tree rings) and from modern equipment (like satellites and instruments) all show the signs of a changing climate.
• From global temperature rise to melting ice sheets, the evidence of a warming planet abound
