” Therefore the radical plans I have kept secret can now be brought into the open”.
Maybe taxing it will… oh wait.
Carbon taxes work when they are set high enough. It’s not hard to see how habits change when it becomes financially unfeasible. Problem is nobody wants to change their habits or way of life because it’s inconvenient.
Carbon tax: all the economic pain, without the environmental gain!
@Venture Ontario you got owned, deal with it
@ARK CON facts don’t care about your right wing talking points and your inability to grasp complex subjects.
@ARK CON lmao you are so clueless bud…here are some facts for you…
“The largest increases are expected in the Dakotas, where producers intend to plant a combined 8.90 million acres, an increase of 2.00 million acres from 2020. “
“Soybean growers intend to plant 87.6 million acres in 2021, up 5% from last year.”
An increase in crop yeilds from last year, DOES NOT AT ALL fly in the face of climate change lmao
And the fact you are focusing on like very specific things, you are missing the forest through the trees
@ARK CON also 1 or 2 scientists predictions that were wrong DOES NOT mean all of climate change science is wrong lmao
Jesus Christ bud, you are cherry picking like crazy
@ARK CON you right wingers make the same brain dead mistakes when it comes to covid… you find 1 or 2 willing doctors to go against the grain than claim all others are clearly wrong
“See, the difference between those that just do what their told without thinking and those who are awake is the point where the conclusion is made. If you follow this through, the asleep make their conclusion at the start of the process. So, this guy says something or some other moron says something, some other psychopath who’s in officialdom and they tell them this and they tell them that, uh get your booster and all this stuff and they just do it. They just follow. Their conclusion does not come as a result of a series of thought processes, it comes as a package delivered to them.”
water just flowing where itwas or controlled in the past. nothing to do with climate chage.
Notice how fast the climate change issue went down to seventh on the list of what Canadians want parliament to prioritize? This happened when the cost of living skyrocketed.
Exactly!!!
The cost of living will keep going up.
BC built the whole town in a floodplain… it used to be a lake…..
Building by rivers has always been risky! Whenever there’s a rain fall that’s in excess they blame climate change! Not that it rains and snows by the meters per year and this time it rained 1 months worth in a day. It’s the rainiest part of the country.
Sumas Plain was Sumas LAKE!!!
And while Obama cries about sea levels rising, he buys property right on the ocean.
This area in BC has flooded at least 4x in the past, the worst being 100 years ago…
Facts done matter. Opinions and emotions are todays science
Past flooding always came in Spring with massive snowmelt combined with heavy rain. This flood was much worse and came just from rain alone which in unprecedented.
@Jack Isaak how long were you waiting to use that last word?
@I AM That seems like a fancy word to you? Just means it’s never happened before.
Add another tax. That will fix the problem. 🙄
In 1948 there was floods in British Columbia also! Did they blame it on climate change then?
I don’t even believe he can tie his own shoes……
Velcro
@Ska Sc lol
BC drained the land & put in levies to hold back the water. They were warned in 2015 that those levies were faulty and needed repair and failed to do so.
Exactly!!!
That’s interesting
Gee.
Does the flooding have anything to do with draining a lake & building a community on its bed?
I guess carbon taxes can’t change the weather. Build better infrastructure if you are going to be living in a flood plain
Yes they can as we are paying for geo engineering, welcome to the outcome, a “climate emergency”.
Omg, please vote him out!!!
We tried, he was re-installed back in. Like a 🚽
Ontaristan loves this guy
@Ska Sc no. We hate him
His empty meaningless words are drama sickening!
This video is why they got rid of the dislike button. 🤡
Lol yup.
The way he speaks makes me wanna hurl.
Weather isnt climate. Sporadic one time or very rare events isnt climate by definition. Climate is averages over long periods of time.
What the heck do you expect when you build on a flood plain.
