Yeah, but think of the value they've created for shareholders.

I should patent that so i can make billions by taking the person who actually figures it out to court in eastern Texas.

Powershift posted:While there is more Canada west of Ontario(mild shock!) a warmer climate won't exactly be a net benefit there. The prairie cities' sprawl is loving disgusting, but canada is really loving big. the thing is there's way more to climate change agriculture planning than "hotter means grow farther north", you have to worry about soil quality, sunlight hours, precipitation levels, precipitation concentration, and so on, and so on here's a map of canada's plant hardiness zones:  you can really see the concentration of 3s 4s and 5s where we grow all our food here's the formula they use to calculate that: quote:The most recent Plant Hardiness zones map (McKenney et al, 2001) was developed by mapping a plant hardiness or suitability index. This index comes from a formula originally developed by Oullet and Sherk, (1967a,b,c). Their formula is: (from here: http://planthardiness.gc.ca/?m=15&lang=en ) note that there's way more to it than just temperature, and this formula doesn't even account for latitude-related hours of sunlight which gets more important as you get farther north, or for topsoil quality (and lol just lol if any of joe oliver's brilliant planning involves growing on thawed permafrost) one huge problem with climate change agriculture planning is that climate change tends to mean more precipitation overall, but also more unpredictable precipitation. so you might get slightly more rain than usual, but it won't rain for four months and then you'll get a torrential downpour that drops four months of rain in twelve hours. that's not great for growing crops. or instead of getting a few days of steady light rain, you get a giant thunderstorm for fifteen minutes every evening that dumps the same amount on you, but most of that runs off into sewers and waterways instead of soaking the earth you can get around some of these problems through technology like fertilizer and irrigation and pumping tons of water onto your fields, but that only gets you so far before you run into the problem of where you're getting that water from, aquifers running dry and so on like is happening in California, topsoil depletion from fertilizer runoff, plus of course all that technology is carbon-intensive so we have to be weaning off it if we don't want to make things even worse, etc etc etc ad infinitum yes the prairies are sparsely populated and have good land, but a lot of good land is already being made unproductive due to climate-change-related weather pattern shifts like the ongoing droughts in Manitoba there is no guarantee that climate change will make any new land available for farming, but we already have a mountain of evidence that it makes farming more difficult in places where we currently farm, because farming relies very heavily on predictable, non-extreme weather and one of the main effects of climate change is that weather becomes more extreme and more unpredictable

The prairies have the rocky mountains as the great regulator though. There will be decade long droughts, but long term, they provide far more stabilization than the Urals. The big issue is our society's inability to think past the next election cycle. You only have to look at the Red Deer river valley and Bow river valley to see a millennia long cycle. We're seeing spiders and snakes creep up into southern Alberta, so as long as we don't completely irradiate the bees with glyphosate, they should adapt. so yeah, RIP humans. infernal machines posted:i'm the © assigned to Her Majesty The Queen This is something i've often wondered about. In Alberta everything is "The court of Queen's bench" and "the queen's printer" Are we gonna bother changing all that, as the next monarch clearly won't be a queen, or just tell those inbred cunts to gently caress right off?

Suplex Liberace posted:The dirt will be too acidic for plants in 20 years this loving guy people's understanding of agriculture is limited to have dirt on ground = good plants that make food, and if no soil, then use technology to grow food in stacks or in caves without thinking about how you would do that when energy, water, and soil are at a premium The only benefit of climate change is a longer growing season, but that doesn't mean much if that growing season is unpredictable -- as in south western ontario this year, we had such a long, cold spring that many farmers didn't get anything planted, and if they did there's no guarantee there's going to be enough growing time which is a huge risk to the farmer --and for the reasons vyelkin listed above. I can speak to soil quality: the majority of it is in Quebec and Ontario, right where most of our suburban development is. If you want to see something truly astonishing look at the United States. That country has 10% of all the arable land in the world, and it's being erased at an astonishing rate. Dreylad has issued a correction as of 16:16 on Sep 2, 2019 |

pokeyman posted:with any luck someone will see the budget for changing all the signs and realize, hey, it costs the same to update them to say nothing whatsoever about monarchy I hope that we (along with prob some other commonwealth nations) have a bit of a ripple effect of demonarchization when Lizzy 2 finally kicks the bucket. Does Canada really want some old british white dude on their coins? Like Lizzy has been around since WWII, she takes a bit of a different connotation for most Canadians: Nostalgia. She was around for the adoption of the Maple Leaf and the patriation of our constitution. Her portrait being at the head of ferries and on pennies has become more of "what else would you put there?" than a "GOD SAVE THE QUEEN" sort of thing. I don't think any of that will carry over to Prince William. If tories are in power when it happens, they'll probably just put different old british white dudes on the coins like John A MacDonald. If grits are in, probably more artists and civil rights people most Canadians haven't heard of. Has anyone seen a Viola Desmond $10 bill? Do they actually exist?  VVV I guess me not actually using much cash other than loonies would explain that.

Once the writ is dropped, Mad Max is going to release his platform on national TV while simultaneously euthanizing puppies. Naw, just kidding. I bet the kind of shitbrain pro-oil voter the PPC is targeting eats that up with a spoon.
