Re: THE NEXT GIGANTIC ISSUE.
Climate change is affecting us most immediately in electricity prices, and severe drought. The summer temperatures every day across a large chunk of the US, are 40 C every day. Drought is closely linked to electricity, and is also playing havoc with food prices.
I am sorry for the young folks. The world is a mess.

Re: THE NEXT GIGANTIC ISSUE.
Natural climate change will have big effects on our future. We should adapt to the new reality as much as possible.
Re: THE NEXT GIGANTIC ISSUE.
Interesting. I just googled a wide range of American cities with searches for Miami, Dallas, Memphis, Houston, Phoenix, Boise, Las Vegas, Milwaukee, St. Louis, and Washington for the next eight days.rookiepilot wrote: ↑Thu Aug 04, 2022 6:02 pm Climate change is affecting us most immediately in electricity prices, and severe drought.

Hardly any 40 degree days. I was surprised to see none for Las Vegas. Even Dallas which always gets hot in August only has one 40 degree day. Phoenix....only three of eight in the hot desert.

Re: THE NEXT GIGANTIC ISSUE.
I wouldn’t use Lake Mead as my barometer for climate change. It’s a man made lake in a desert … personally I think it’s a cycle, the last decade seen areas getting higher amount of rain then they’re suppose to, others getting less. Also .. I seem to remember that summers were a lot hotter 20 years ago when they use to report ozone action days, no lawn mowers, no BBQ’s … funny how those just disappeared. Farms almanac is calling for a really cold winter .. fyi.
I’m not claiming to be an expert or know anything either way, but I know strangling the public with high fuel prices to “modify” there ways is wrong .. specially when “the modifier” is logging 26000km a month in a private jet. Surfs up!

Take a look at the 1930's if you want to see hot.

Of course, if that massive period of really hot temps had been this year, the usual crowd would be screaming the usual things that they usually say. Then as usual, they walk off to their business jets, yachts, fancy cars, and private personal aircraft after voicing their concerns and scolding us, thinking what good people they are because they have told others how they should change their lifestyle.

Re: THE NEXT GIGANTIC ISSUE.
The natural droughts and natural warming that we are having are always a concern. Just like they will be a concern when they naturally start getting colder again. The definition of unusual can be changed to fit ones argument. We had drought last year in canada affecting farm production. I would be willing to bet that there have been droughts, some of them bad for almost every year in the last one hundred. If the dirty thirties happened now, the greenies would yell their usual yelling. But the dustbowl inconveniently happened in the thirties. it was a disaster on an epic scale.rookiepilot wrote: ↑Tue Aug 23, 2022 7:32 amDidn’t you say to me the warming and drought we are having isn’t anything unusual compared to any other year?pelmet wrote: ↑Tue Aug 23, 2022 7:30 amNatural global warming will have some significant effects.

They must have thought the world was ending.
Maybe one needs an MBA or CFA to spot a scam…..or an ATPL. Based on my experience…..doesn’t make a difference. But Vlad sure is happy to be accepting money that could have gone to our health care for his artillery. He appreciates the stupidity of so many Canadian votes based poor overall analytical capability.

I wonder how many hundreds of billions if not trillions of energy dollars Harper would have brought in over the last eight years. Think about that while you wait for your emergency room to re-open.

CLIMATE CHANGE.
Think — inflation. Flying for one is going to get a LOT more expensive. We are in very early innings of the massive effects of the world needing to adapt.
Anyone who doesn’t see this is a fool or just not paying attention.
Paragraph 2 - I've found that it is not helpful to think that people who don't agree with me are fools or not paying attention.

So a bunch of guys dedicated to launching space vehicles are telling us about climate change.
Natural climate change is happening. We have to be prepared for it. It used to be a massive glacier over top of us.

Re: THE NEXT GIGANTIC ISSUE.
Trudeau is solving inflation as we speak. Doing more money printing to hand out to everyone. All I know is whatever the next issue is Canada will be fine because we can just print more money for everyone to afford things as we get through the problems.
Climate change makes food expensive? Print some money... Just give everyone thousands and they can afford things.

I suspect you call him an arsehole strictly because you disagree with his policies. There are all kinds of people on both sides of the political spectrum that destroy their credibility with infantile arguments like the one you have just made.
Imagine if we had tens of billions of dollars extra for the federal government to spend on health care because an arsehole's policies had allowed that.
