When you mine the most carbon-polluting source of oil, the climate gets unstable, and bad things happen. The oil industry itself is not immune.<br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6I6QuntzPmo<br /><br />Then, in this week's Radio Ecoshock show, Ottawa scientist (and AMEG member) Paul Beckwith and I talk further about the climate links to increased risk of super fires in the northern Boreal forests<br />http://www.ecoshock.info/2016/05/dark-climate-now-and-coming.htmlAlex Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11141662062651853725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3046701423623795423.post-29689282679660596172016-05-09T13:52:23.225-07:002016-05-09T13:52:23.225-07:00I thought Australia had bad bushfires.

California's fires last year were a quantum again beyond ours.<br /><br />If Malcolm Light is correct then there is nothing that can be done.

Even now, while visible effects are apparent, it remains business as usual. Sadly, this is fate, mankind acts as an virus on the planet and it seems the earth is no longer interested in being sick.

Even just normal losses from now until September give an estimated minimum area of a little over 2 million sq km. <br /><br />Given the significant extra heat over Canada heating the rivers Hot waters in the Pacific flowing in, then add soot from the fires, a sub 1 million sq km must be at least possible.

Temperatures in Fort Mac are 30C, way above normal. The fire threatens to burn most of the city, while the oil producers say that this fire will cause a decline in production because the work force will not be available! Poor them, never mind the workers. More than 20,000 people have gone south to the city of Edmonton , while the rest , 60,000 or so, are going in different directions to find refuge. Alberta declared state of emergency.<br />But above all, this is happening to a province where most people do not "believe" in climate science, they reduce this to a fight for jobs vs the greens who believe in conspiracy theories. <br />This is a wake up call to Canada and all provinces, that science was right, that something must be done, now. I doubt they will do anything as usual, all talk, no action. We will burn, am ready.Obeliskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10742907813258899682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3046701423623795423.post-86434240761620329712016-05-04T05:22:08.634-07:002016-05-04T05:22:08.634-07:00The location of the high heat anomaly in Western C...The location of the high heat anomaly in Western Canada shown above is in proximity to high methane concentration cloud depicted in the map of light absorption of that molecule specie's sensitivity and done by crude method.<br />If Merlin type full column observatory was flying people would react brave if given pathway Real so work naturally tended in value to remedy.<br />The Test of Theory 2C states The fires of Entropy rise attest to value $ and the quantum change snap to Earth Real at value would infect cool 0thDale Lananhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05409842680440987251noreply@blogger.com
