Climate change doesn't exist!



If you are Canadian and if you actually don't like living in sub-zero temperatures for 8 months of the year...
Ahhh... Ummm... really? 8 month's... Think the coldest parts of Canada are sub zero maybe 3 or 4 months in a bad year, unless you go so far north that it is only polar bear country.

We have a few fires every year out west sure but the climate in Kelowna is great. Tons of wineries, never gets cold enough to freeze the lake, Golf courses close for December and January so the ski hills get busy, but I was out golfing again by Feb 15th.

3-4 months? You say that like it is a good thing. For all of its warts, Southern California weather is the reason so many live here.

Yes it is a very good thing, replenishes the snow-pack for all the skiers and as it melts provides the rest of us with fresh water, hydro and of course clean smelling air... cant beat clean air and water, unless you like hot stuffy smog filled air with no water?

OK I will try to stop trolling off topic...but, just a bit more, The air if fine here as long as live near the Ocean, and who wouldn't? As for water, we have all we need, just haven't been motivated enough yet to make it happen because the politics here are 100% stuck on stupid. As for skiing, if I want to ski I "go" skiing, that includes water skiing without a wet/dry suit (whatever they call it) because the water is not freezing cold.

Anyhow, whatever, I am embarrassingly bored today to be typing all this.... Back to work.:zzwhip:
 
Kelowna inside the city is quite nice. Go venture 10km out of the city though, and seriously, you would think you're on Mars. The terrain there is horrible. It's just this dry, desert type of place.

Now if you want beautiful terrain, try Banff / Canmore, Cape Breton, or somewhere like the Queen Charlotte Islands or Vancouver Island. Not bloody Kelowna though.
 
80% of the water in California is used by farmers and subsidized by taxpayers. On the other hand, we do have the ocean. Desalination planets are planned but watermelon environmentalists (green on the outside, red on the inside) like to block progress.
 
You can make water from air, and there's a fair bit of moisture in those ocean winds. The converters can be solar fired, and California has a fair bit of sun. The US should be leading the world in such technology, making bigger, more efficient and cheaper units.

Imagine the environmentalists claiming climate change if you took it out of the air.

I do like solar desalinization of ocean water though. Pipe it into a useless inland area, set up a huge solar desalinization plant and that is that. Better than a $100B bullet train that no one will use.
 
Just tell them you can reclaim the reservoir evaporation?

I was thinking about something along these lines while driving the 5 looking at the CA Aqueduct. Local Cities are forcing pool covers due to the evaporation, cannot wait until they decide to cover the entire aqueduct.
