I call bullsh%t 1930 dust bowl must have been heat dome dust bowl
No… we literally drained the soil to dust from over farming.
@๐ฅ๐พ๐ต๐ฌ๐ช๐ท๐ฒ๐๐ฎ๐ญ ๐๐ฒ๐ท๐ฎ๐ป๐ช๐ต ๐ฆ๐ช๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ป You uh, underestimate the amount of landmass there is in the west, and the amount of it that’s properly irrigated for farming, and the amount that actually gets utilized.
What you’re describing is a real issue. It may have been part of the problem, but yeah. It wasn’t just depleted soil.
Why were they called the dirty thirties?
Some of our seniors living in a prairie provinces can give you the answer!
Record high temp. in Canada was 8F above that!
Funny how arrogant humans are. As if we have any control over the Earth, the Sun and the cosmic cycles within this tiny blip of existence.
@Domenic Lazzaro the double standards are crazy
100% accurate!
They do control the weather…research into HAARP
@Bob1Barker2 they don’t have control over it! They only changed it. B/c if they had control the weather would be perfect all the time.
@Bob1Barker2 No. The Sun is the primary driver for climate and weather phenomenon on Earth. You can fit about 1.3 million Earths into the Sun. How many HAARP arrays were there? One? And you are going to say that a tiny little array has ANY comparison to the Sun? GTFOOH…..
“Heat dome??” Atmospheric dome, not heat dome. Increase pressure equals a higher atmosphere equals a thinner atmosphere equals more radiation equals more heat during the day, less rain and cool nights, like in California, now.
Hey Mark you ever hear about the dunning kruger effect ? Id love for you to cite your sources ๐
@John I had to look that up. That’s an expert level burn! Next level trolling for sure. I’m impressed
Many States set their all time low temps for June, the world wide temperature average for 2021 is 0.2c higher that the 1979 to 2020 average.
Snowstorms in Texas and Canada set their all time high with 49 C almost beating Death Valley! crazy how we screwed up the climate this much!
@FeistyPapa no we didn’t, you just want something to complain about. Climate change while real is unbelievably exaggerated…kinda like covid.
@Zack470 based on what?
Apparently Trudeau says that if we vote for him again, there wont be anymore heat waves
Apparently far right-wingers are claiming that Trudeau says that if we vote for him again, there wont be anymore heat waves. Idiots.
@Scott Koontz you canโt actually be this stupid, you have to be a troll
@thimblemunch Agreed. The OP had to be from some far right winger with no education. He has to be a troll.
@Skรผรผnt Cunthรธrpe You can’t actually be this stupid. You have to be a troll.
@Tom
If you were asked if Climate Change started the fires out west in B.C. what would your answer be.?..
Climate crisis everyone. We need to lockdown again to save the planet
Ya. Even more stupid than covid. How many will fall for this one?
Btw we also have high life expectancies and are able to protect ourselves from climate more.
Remember the 20s when the west was a desert for the better part of a decade?
Remember the 90s that were warmer? Remember the 00s that were warmer? Remember the 10s that were warmer? Bet you $100 that the 2020s will be warmer.
Cry more hippie. Iโll leave my car idling for an extra long time just for you! :))
“This is really responsible from you!” ๐ง
I do not drive my fossil car anymore…
@Kloko Loko Batteryโs are a huge problem with rare earth minerals & will continue to be a huge enviro disaster .
And the seasons go round & round.
@Bye-bye Trudeau Batteries are recycled and do not use rare earth minerals.
You do not even know from what metals car battery is made of..
@Trish Pharaon Type in YouTube “The Dirty Truth about Combustion Engine Vehicles” And you have excellent video that will open your eyes.
๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ climate lockdowns ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
You do not even understand the problem.
This is just like saying that for winter you need diving-suit and not jacket.
@Kloko Loko Okay? ๐
so youre saying in the paast there were never any droughts? riiiight….
Many ancient civilizations performed human sacrifices offering their hearts to the “climate change gods” during these periods where the weather didn’t cooperate.
You think our civilization is that uneducated or you are?
Sounds like the American Demacrat party of today.
๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐๐ฉ
I know you.
You also laugh when somebody fall from bicycle
@Kloko Loko Biden again? ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ
Here’s an idea. Fix climate change WITHOUT ripping off Canadian’s ๐
You can’t fix climate change. It’s been happening for… well… Since the earth started. And it will continue.
@Trish Pharaon DERP
No one is saying the climate has never changed. Jesus.
Temperatures and carbon emissions have been higher 6 times in the past. Geological records prove, each time was preceded by an ice age…now that’s factual Science!
Nope, Covid, everything is Covid, nothing else but Covid is responsible for absolutely everything. Where have you been the past year and a half, like seriously?๐
โCovid caused this heatwave guys get your shots stay in your home and vote for Trudeau, trust me Trudeau has super powers that makes it so heat doesnโt existโ
Lmao, climate has been changing since the last ice age. It is the cycle of the planet!
Lmao, no one says it hasn’t. They are saying it is exasperated by human actions.
Jesus.
