Why didn’t Trudeau want to link the Fort Mac fire to climate change?

Trudeau such a weakling. The truth is most of North America is in an unusually cold spring. That's the reason you have so many cold weather events.. storms, tornados.. in the southern U.S. and why its so brisk in central Canada.

But the floating of the issue goes to show you how sick and desperate the AGW industry has become. It picks up on ANY anecdote to make its case. What you have is a cyclical event based on fuel buildup on forest floors after a long period without bush fires, and an anomolous, local dry and warm spell in Northern Alberta. It comes AND goes in cycles.

The truth is Justin doesn't have independent thought in his skull. He's waiting for a poll or voter demographic or party ideologue to tell him what his opinion should be.

Of course.

It's a combination of factors which includes El Nino for this year, climate change, dry trees, crazy wind and obviously the guy that started it.

Apparently trudOWE is not quite as stupid as you.No worries though, there is a really stupid actor in the US that thinks a Chinook is climate change so there is at least one person in the world that came from a shallower gene pool than you.

Effects of climate change key in increased wildfire risk: expert

VANCOUVER (NEWS 1130) – Now that a major wildfire has forced everyone from their homes in and around Fort McMurray climate experts warn things will only get worse.

“Yes, we believe it will,” says Dr. John Innes, the Dean of UBC’s Faculty of Forestry. “We have been modelling the impacts of climate change on fire. What we are expecting is a longer fire season and that’s exactly what we’re seeing this year. We’ve also predicted the fires will be more intense, which is also what seems to be happening.”

Innes adds there’s no doubt we’re feeling the effects of climate change and that’s only contributing the increased fire risk.

“Summers seem to be getting quite a lot dryer now. It’s difficult to identify a particular trend in any given year. But what we’re seeing is year after year, we’re having temperature records broken, we’re seeing more and more drought and it looks like the fires are just going to get worse.”

He says the best way to guard against the raging infernos is to make sure areas are clear of natural fuel sources, meaning dry brush and branches and anything else that is easily consumed by the flames and helps the fire grow and spread.

“There needs to be a lot of work done to try and reduce fuel loads, particularly in sensitive areas like on the margins of municipalities,” says Innes, adding that in most cases, by the time crews get around to clearing those fuel loads, it’s already too late.

Another retard.
Fact is if some low brow hadn't tossed a lit cigarette out the window there would be no fire. To date all the BC fires have been human caused. Nothing to do with climate change.
The only link to climate change seems to be the more truthers there are the more human caused fires we have. Interesting relationship don't you think?

Because he didn't want to be ridiculed and laughed out of the room



Here's where I have a big problem.... Fire extinguishers are filled to the brim with dangerous CO2.





Wonder if Cliffy will be declaring that this is some form of karmic retribution for those folks

Her already has in another thread,

It's like she took the words right out of my mouth.


'Of course' Fort McMurray fire linked to climate change, Elizabeth May says

The leader of Canada's Green Party said Wednesday climate change was partly to blame for the wildfire devastating Fort McMurray, Alta., touching off a debate about whether it was the right time to discuss the causes of the conflagration.

"Of course," Elizabeth May said Wednesday when asked if there was anything about the fire that is linked to global warming. "The temperature records were being smashed through last month for northern Alberta," she said, while noting that no single event is caused by climate change alone. "It's due to global emissions.

"Scientists will say we know with a destabilized climate, with a higher average global temperature, we will see more frequent, more extreme weather events ... due to an erratic climate, due to our addiction to fossil fuels."

Later, in a statement sent to reporters, May said she wasn't directly tying the Fort McMurray wildfire to climate change. "No credible climate scientist would make this claim, and neither do I make this claim," she said, while urging Canadians to take collective action to mitigate the impact of "extreme climate events."

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau declined to make a direct link between the fire — which has forced some 80,000 people out of their homes — and climate change, at least while the embers are still burning.

"It's well-known that one of the consequences of climate change will be a greater prevalence of extreme weather events around the planet, however any time we try to make a political argument out of one particular disaster I think there is a bit of a short cut that can sometimes not have the desired outcome.

"Pointing at any one incident and saying, 'Well this is because of that,' is neither helpful nor entirely accurate," he said. "What we are focussed on right now on is giving the people of Fort McMurray, and across Alberta, the kind of support that they need."

Elizabeth May said this? Elizabeth may would link my receding
hair line to climate change if someone asked here about it.

It's like she took the words right out of my mouth.

Is my receding hair line linked to climate change? Did you also
notice that the work anthropomorphic has pretty much disappeared
from these alarmist quotes? I have...

It really is shameful that people are still willing to avoid resolving climate change while these poor Albertans watch their homes go up in flames.

Truly a grotesque and abhorrent side of humanity that thankfully is losing influence by the day.

What is shameful that ideologues like yourself use human tragedy to further your political-religious agenda. You have sunk as low as Cliffy in my books.

You know what... you're a troll. There is no way you can believe this as I do not believe even you are this stupid.

So you are either a fantastic world class troll, clearly the best in this forum....

... or you are really REALLY stupid.

Would you care to shed some light on my observation?
