Christy's GHG strategy

Climate Change Impacts
Climate change has important implications for British Columbians:
Extreme weather events are costly and more frequent
The global reinsurance industry tracks the number of natural catastrophes worldwide. The trend in catastrophes caused by weather, water, or climate has increased over the last 30 years. A 2012 report from the Insurance Bureau of Canada states that “climate change is likely responsible, at least in part, for the rising frequency and severity of extreme weather events, such as floods, storms and droughts, since warmer temperatures tend to produce more violent weather patterns.”
Payouts from Canadian insurance companies for damages caused by natural disasters – including those related to weather and water – have doubled every five years since 1983.The extreme weather events of greatest concern in B.C. include heavy rain and snow falls, heat waves, and drought. They are linked to flooding and landslides, water shortages, forest fires, reduced air quality, and costs related to:
Damage to property and infrastructure;
Business disruptions; and
Increased illness and mortality.
These costs are borne by individuals, businesses, and governments. Science links recent climate change to the greenhouse gases released to the atmosphere through human activities over the past century. Based on historic emissions, further changes are unavoidable. Continued emissions will add to the stock of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and are expected to cause substantial additional change within our lifetimes and beyond.

Christy is right with her revelation that climate change is unavoidable, inevitable and the process is probably advanced because of human consumption. That does not mean that climate change is not cyclical and has occurred many times over the course of the earth's history. Long before man and industry. The reality is that the human effect on global warming is a spit in the bucket when compared to the natural warming occurrences, such as volcano's, earthquakes, fires ect. climate change is what wiped out the Neanderthal and they hadn't even invented the wheel yet. Quit blaming progress and find a way to adapt or humans will be gone also but then again what makes us think that we have the right to survive the inevitable process of nature. Only nature will decide whom the survivors are and we as a society have not shown to be good stewards of nature. The best thing to happen to this planet is if all industry, progress and consumption were to cease and then we would still likely not have a chance as a species but the planet may have a chance as a colony.

guess reading comprehension isn't a skill for some. what the article clearly states is humans are causing climate change lol . and the libs have a plan , which includes cutting back on greenhouse gases . and if you think weather wiped out the neanderthals, well

[TRIX]

Climate change did wipe out the Neanderthals. They were good forest hunters that could not adapt to their changing environment. The same situation that we are in now. Deja vue?

[maryjane48]

well according to what i have read , 2 percent of us now have nean genes in them so they still here, and that when us humans showed up we competed and won .lol but my main point is the libs acting like the green party

We also have compatible Chimpanzee genes but that doesn't make us chimps even though many politicians and climate change experts act and think like apes mimicking what they have been shown and told by so called thinkers. The truth is that the goals that have been set down as achievable by this government are going to be extremely expensive to British Columbians. Every time we cast our votes for the Libs we authorize them to continue chasing the horse after the barn door has been closed. If they were truly interested in reducing our carbon footprint we would be chasing the cheapest power supplies possible. Hydro electricity is one which I agree is a good move but do not have any faith that this lineage of government will have the ability to pull off as their track record of mismanagement is well documented. The other is nuclear which if done properly in the right locations has been proven to be the other most reliable inexpensive source of power available. The problem is the public push back that nuclear would attract. The push back would be easy to overcome with governments favorite tool, an alternate approval vote that always sets the proponents up for a win. This government is only concerned with revenue streams, nothing more nothing less. There is no moral responsibility to take care of British Columbians or they would give us energy and other resources at cost rather than charging us world prices.
We should be able to access our provincial,federal commodities at a reduced rate and be allowed to prosper as a society but the Democratic Dictatorships that we are bound to only allow us to be successful enough not to complain too loudly. I could not even buy a bag of Canadian Cranberries at any of the 3 major retailers for Christmas dinner,the were all US. It is a shame how we allow the powers that be to dupe us into thinking that this is as good as it gets. We could really use some vision in our leadership and some confidence in governments. How that is achieved I don't know but I do have hope for the future with the rise of the Greens and the First Nation voice.

but thats what im saying exactly , same as you

And how's that working for them (us)??

[TRIX]

Ok, LV I have also crossed you also of of both idiot lists, real and fake. (From another thread as a paid poster.)
FF, The net revenue loss to this government will continue to be high as their apologists will continue to vote for them no matter how wrong they are and the NDP will never adapt. That leaves us in a vaccum of common sense that will cost us dearly going fwd.
