And the best thing about sucking up all that Alberta cancer juice is it all came consequence free right?

Warmer planet = more evaporation = more moisture in atmosphere = AGW jacked rain bombs and flooding.

Province boosts cost of Alberta floods to $6 billion

“Major areas of flood-related spending for the province so far include compensation for homeowners moved from floodways, business support programs and property tax relief for affected municipalities.

But the largest component of the province’s spending is its disaster relief program — which makes direct payments to individuals, organizations and small businesses for uninsured losses. A significant portion of those expenditures will ultimately be reimbursed by the federal government and Alberta has already asked for a $500-million advance from Ottawa.”

Fort McMurray wildfire costliest insured disaster in Canadian history
Insurance Bureau of Canada estimates fire in Alberta city in May will cost insurers about $3.58B

“The massive Fort McMurray, Alta., wildfire that forced more than 80,000 people from their homes in May is the costliest disaster for insurers in Canadian history.”

“In all, about 2,400 homes and buildings burned in the fire, which breached city limits on May 3 and torched entire neighbourhoods in the oilsands community.

Hundreds of buildings spared from the flames were left heavily damaged or even uninhabitable from smoke damage.”

3.6 billion is just the insurance. There are many more costs. Hell the donation money alone came to $300 million.

Now here is a perfect example of Denial Canadian style. Canadian style is lots of fines and punishment. Canda likes rules and punishment and scapegoats.

Fines of up to $1 million included in proposed wildfire bill

Since the spark/ignition for the fire was deemed to come from a human and not lighting it provides them with a perfect opportunity to scapegoat individuals now and in the future and ignore the fact that fire season is over 2 months longer than in the 1980’s and everything is dried out, even in winter. What we have here is legislated denial. See? Canadian cancer monkeys are just as much in denial as merican redneck conservatives – they just go about it in their own cultural fashion. Humans.

BTW, that fire is still burning.

The Beast is alive: How the fire that tried to destroy Fort McMurray is still burning near the Saskatchewan border

Here’s what the science really says about Fort McMurray and climate change

“In terms of the total areas destroyed by fires, there’s an unmistakable escalation, they say.”

“As temperatures warm, they say, the likelihood is greater that more out of control infernos will consume more trees and human infrastructure.

“Climate change is here,” Flannigan says. “And we’re seeing more fires and arguably more intense fires because of it. Our area burned in Canada has doubled since the seventies. I, and others, say that this increase in area burned is related to temperature, which is related to human caused climate change.”

“Government assessment shows increased forest fire activity in last 40 years”

“It was so powerful it created its own weather, fierce and powerful winds and lightning emerged from the monster-sized blaze.

Flannigan has seen cases where forest fires generated their own thunderstorms, but he’s never heard about a fire generating its own lightning that sparked a new blaze to grow and spread. That’s a first, and he knows what he’s talking about.

The prolific researcher has degrees in physics, atmospheric science and plant sciences, and he has published more than 100 research papers in peer-reviewed journals, including 30 papers related to forests and climate change.”

So what Canada has done in regards to “fighting” climate change is basically fuck all. Lip service and meaningless carbon tax that does nothing to slow the cancer. Plenty of pretend feel good shit though. Like the US and pretty much everywhere else there are many new fossil fuel projects in the works here. Canadian cancer monkey’s want more. That’s the priority. Is it any Wonder that I don’t hold out any hope for the humans?

“…there are still conventional opportunities on a smaller scale. Look no further than Whitecap’s Elnora field, which was discovered in 2011.”

First, I don’t recall anyone saying there weren’t many thousands of wells left to drill in conventional reservoirs. And perhaps some relatively rare big one but typically much, much smaller the ones he goes on endlessly about. And that big Whitecap discovery? Apparently not big enough for even the company to individually brag about on its website. Though it claims this field is one of the largest to be discovered in the trend for the last 20 years it doesn’t give reserve estimate.

The entire company’s reserve base of its 12 field and not just the Elnora Field: “Recently increased total proved reserves to 155 million bbls.”

Climate Change will impact all of us and future generations.

It is time to reduce fossil fuel use and transition to safer, cleaner and cheaper alternative energy sources.
