"O.K. the world is getting warmer in the upper atmosphere, which causes more moisture. The reason for strong tornadoes in Oklahoma and now Calgary... Alberta is sinking.." Say B00MER

Anyone honestly think Climate Change is not real.. I mean come on..

Places are too wet, others too dry and fires..

O.K. the world is getting warmer in the upper atmosphere, which causes more moisture. The reason for strong tornadoes in Oklahoma and now Calgary... Alberta is sinking..

Cause and effect.. have no clue to the actual cause.. but.


Boom,I know at least one engineer who earnestly tried to place flood control dams to prevent this, and in 2001 he showed me the EXACT locations for his dams.

If you go to Google earth, look up the powder face ridge gap, move the cursor to the HIghwood & look at the Squaw coulee diversion, and then rise the Ghost - move Morley.

ARRRGH! One of us ahs to run for office....

Strange how the first thing I thought of when I heard about the flooding was Ralph Klein.

But I'm not an arrogant Ontarioan so I won't suggest we "let the Western bastards swim", but will gladly share my tax revenue, and more, to helping these fellow Canadians survive and recover..........

Cumberland House, SK - under evac notice. Medicine Hat - state of emergency. Lethbridge, Alta - on high alert........and the list of effected communities continues to rise as do the waters - the photos of the massive flooding are almost beyond belief. Thoughts and prayers, folks.........and lots of them.

I tuned into CTV Regina tonight to get an update on what is happening there. They were reporting many road closures in the province so far, petros.
Up around PA has been swamped for weeks. Spiritwood, Waskesiu, Paddockwood, Cumberland etc

...Anyway to direct it to Texas, Arizona and places that are already experiencing drought!!??

95 F and sunny in Arlington, TX

I suppose it would just be a simple matter of diverting it off to the Red River and then reversing the flow on the Red or better yet diverting it to the Missouri in northern Montana.

They need to build aqueducts like they have in California to pull the water south..

Get to much water open up the dam and send it to Arizona..
