Climate change will knock one-third off world economy, study shows

[sumdumguy]

I think maybe negative 36.872% (sarcasm).

Can’t you see the crazyness? How does one quantify idiocy? I think professors and climate ‘experts’ have lost 97 % of their legitimacy. Desperate whackos at work day and night! They choose to villify the staff of life for a cozy living.

Chuck I have a challenge for you in the next few days. Come up with something educational entertaining or funny.Maybe thankful for something or someone, a pic of something beautiful or funny.Appreciate life and quit dragging us in this sludge of dismay.

You don’t live far apart. Take him for an ice cream at the concession in Meota by the beach. Maybe that cools him down.

So forest fires, heat domes, heat stress, floods, droughts, coastal flooding, and other more frequent and intense extreme weather events don't cost anything?

Only on Agrisilly!

Or ….

[chuckChuck]

Every last one?

Only if you use flat earth evidence and logic!

Where we are ( edmonton area) we are on pace for one of the wettest Mays in recorded history. NOT ALOT OF TALK ABOUT THAT.

And as for the fort mac fires? Heres a quick thought.

After the Slave Lake fire, the MLA for Drayton Valley proposed a bill that would force every town thats surrounded by bush to bulldoze a 1 km wide fireguard AROUND each town/ city. It didnt even make it to the 1st reading.



LAST YR DRAYTON VALLEY WAS 100% EVACUATED AS A FIRE WAS HEADING TOWARD DRAYTON.

How many homes burnt in the last fort mac.fire? A friend of ours lost his house.

So now, we have another fire heading toward fort mac.

How incredibly short sighted is it to not have dozed a fireguard?

Im not agreeing or disagreeing with anything chuck says. But this is an example of where we, as humans in control of something, could help decrease the insurance premium and taxpayer costs by preventative measures.

And you know the argument against this obvious move?

"Well itll make the town less pretty to look at"

( heres a tip ..nobody vacations to fort mac anyways)

You build a plastic sided city inside a giant forest that has a natural cycle of burning/ regrowth/ death/ burn/ regrowth.... and then try to fight that natural cycle?

Smart.
Real
Effing

Smart .

The homesteaders had this figured out more than a century ago. They would plow a fire break around their homestead.
In russia, they work up a strip around the fields as soon as they start combining so if a fire starts it doesn't get away.

I am told that they did the same thing around the
trading forts back in the day, removed all the trees nearby to break from the forest fires or intentional fires.

Now you would need an environmental study , pay for a permit and on and on and on , just to do the reasonable thing to help prevent natural cycles.

Years ago the prairie fires would spark up in the valley close to the family homestead and come up out and burn guys out. The single furrow plow ridge is still present along the top of the valley. Still customary around here someone is hooked to a tillage tool when fire risk is high. Too bad everyone got rid of their cows to control fuel loads in wastelands.

Yes, but back before the climate emergency, those events were what we called weather. Only during the climate change era are these events known as extreme climate events.

And through the modern miracles of inflation, affluence and population growth, these weather events become increasingly expensive.
