Right, there was no forest fire.

When people think of what happened in Fort McMurray, they certainly do not think forest fire.

I mean certainly it's not mentioned 8 times on that page along with climate change.


It's all an elaborate hoax. :roll:

Precisely why we should be preparing for climate change - not making scammers wealthier. Who knows.... They might be "building" an ark and you'll be left behind with the rest of us. Man, the whining there'll be then....

Climate Change: Carbon Capture Method Creates Ethanol

Scientists Accidentally Discover Efficient Process to Turn CO2 Into Ethanol


This technology will make CO2 emissions a non issue but the carbon tax lovers are ignoring the story. Could it be that their issue isn't about limiting CO2 emissions and more about wealth transfer. It certainly appears that way.

Sask has a large CC plant running.

And we knew about the new discovery....

Still no response to the real issue

Climate change found to double impact of forest fires - The Globe and Mail

Over the past 30 years, human-caused climate change has nearly doubled the amount of forest area lost to wildfires in the western United States, a new study has found.

The result puts hard numbers to a growing hazard that experts say both Canada and the U.S. must prepare for as western forests across North America grow warmer and drier and increasingly spawn wildfires that cannot be contained.

No but at some point you might try. I'm not sure why you're still on the issue of climate change since we've clearly solved the problem of CO2. Is it possible that your agenda isn't really about CO2. It sure seems so

Like I already said when you were at 0 and 3, just having a technology doesn't solve the problem.

You need funding to mass produce it and you still need mitigation.

I wonder what the Henny Penny crowd will cry when they realize water vapour is a greenhouse gas too. Is water going to be outlawed, taxed or given to Nestle?

Water, no.

Sugar, yes.

Of course you do, however other than your silly ideology, you've provided nothing that suggests this funding needs to come from the government. I know you disagree but history shows that the private sector is very good at developing technology

Sugar makes even less sense because water vapour needs something to condense about to become rain. Are you into climate change?

Are forest fires not natural events ? Why is the provincial flower of The Yukon fireweed ?

I already addressed the fact that El Nino was made worse due to climate change.

What you've done is suggested the fire around Fort Mac was the size it was because of climate change. Anybody that knows anything about forest fires knows how silly that is
