Funny guy.
Thanks for confirming.

Scott H has been pretty busy spearheading a campaign for the installation of a windmill farm on the hills behind north van....hence the non productive replies.
After all, there is chance he would be a NIMBY or hypocrite, unlike most other "climate change" nazi's.....is there?

It's okay to kill as many birds as long as you do in the production of clean energy, according to our governments. Tongue firmly in cheek.

There are none. Don't you think that with the inevitable decline of O&G royalties, taxes and other contributions to the economy (you know, little things like jobs), that we as a province have to start thinking on how to replace that revenue?
I don't want to see sales taxes, but we may see them. The carbon tax the NDP institute really is just a sales tax in disguise, and the revenue from that will decline as oil revenues decline. What are they going to do, raise the carbon tax on natural gas? We need to heat our homes, and unless we get a massive increase in wind and solar energy coming to the home, we will need natural gas as opposed to using electric power.
I don't see any easy answers, just that I am pretty sure I would like to see some planning for the changes that will come.

Unfortunately you believe in flawed science. There is no evidence whatsoever that anthropogenic carbon emissions contribute to climate change. CO2 is not a pollutant.
You need to do a lot more research on your own instead of getting caught up in the current fads and fearmongering.

As funny as your response was, it seems you are serious. It might be time for you to stop getting all your educational material from fox news and the Rebel.

Actually I was pretty happy when they built that windmill.
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/britis...layed-1.819536
I was ecstatic to watch them build the new wind farm at Pennask not far from my place in the Okanagan. That one really went up fast .

I would really get behind a few more going up closer to my place in Calgary.
Hopefully soon.

However CO2 is not a pollutant. It is a natural part of the biosphere.
If you are so sure that you are an expert in the field of climate change, kindly explain what caused the last ice age and why it ended.
Please explain why most of North America is no longer buried under 2 miles of ice.
Do that, and perhaps people will take what you have to say seriously.

Oh I'm not worried about if I'm taken seriously in my belief of man made climate change. But you can rest assured that yourself, Donald Trump and Jimmy Swagart all have the same view of the state of the enviroment and thus will be gauged equally.

Apparently, this US government report, released this week, disagrees with you.
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/03/c...te-report.html
Quote:
WASHINGTON — Directly contradicting much of the Trump administration’s position on climate change, 13 federal agencies unveiled an exhaustive scientific report on Friday that says humans are the dominant cause of the global temperature rise that has created the warmest period in the history of civilization.
Over the past 115 years global average temperatures have increased 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit, leading to record-breaking weather events and temperature extremes, the report says. The global, long-term warming trend is “unambiguous,” it says, and there is “no convincing alternative explanation” that anything other than humans — the cars we drive, the power plants we operate, the forests we destroy — are to blame.

That question was about as valid as asking for proof that humans didn't originate in the garden of Eden.
