Canada & Conservatism

[Pargat Perrer]

....

Nothing to do with human produced C02s Methane, or Nitirogen gasses. Water vapour & clouds dominate the atmosphere- ocean currents control the weather. Carbon dioxide does neither. The climate scam has it wrong on purpose. The UN has a vested interest in its dishonest boiling climate scam based on fake science. It's about money, power & control.

well, I asked ChatGPT....

Is it true that global climate change is mainly due to water vapor in the atmosphere? If yes, what causes the increased water vapor?ChatGPT said:

ChatGPT

No, it's not true that global climate change is mainly due to water vapor in the atmosphere. While water vapor is a greenhouse gas and plays a crucial role in the Earth's climate system, it is not the primary driver of the recent increase in global temperatures. The main driver of current climate change is the increase in carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane (CH₄), and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, primarily due to human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes.

Here's why:

1. Water Vapor as a Feedback, Not a Forcing: Water vapor acts as a feedback rather than a primary cause. The warming of the Earth's surface, primarily due to the increase in greenhouse gases like CO₂, leads to more evaporation of water from oceans, lakes, and other water bodies. As the air becomes warmer, it can hold more water vapor, which amplifies the greenhouse effect because water vapor itself is a potent greenhouse gas. However, the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere is largely controlled by the temperature of the atmosphere, not directly by human activity.
2. Human-Caused Greenhouse Gases: The increase in CO₂, methane, and nitrous oxide due to human activity traps heat in the atmosphere. This extra heat increases the capacity of the atmosphere to hold water vapor, which then amplifies the warming effect. But it is the increase in CO₂ (and other gases) that is the main driver of global warming.
3. Water Vapor's Role: Water vapor is important in the climate system, as it helps to regulate temperature through cloud formation and precipitation. However, it is not the initial trigger for the long-term warming trends observed over the past century.

What Causes the Increased Water Vapor?

The increased water vapor in the atmosphere is primarily caused by the increase in temperature, which itself is driven by the rise in greenhouse gas concentrations. As the Earth's surface warms due to more CO₂ and other gases, more water evaporates, and the atmosphere can hold more moisture. This leads to an increase in water vapor, which then enhances the greenhouse effect, but this is a feedback process rather than a primary cause of climate change.

In summary, while water vapor amplifies climate change, the primary cause of the current global warming is the increase in greenhouse gases like CO₂, which are largely driven by human activities.


thank you ChatGPT for giving us the truth behind the bs.

Of COURSE Sad will say this is mainstream media fake news .... because that's all he CAN say ....

get ready folks ... extreme right bs incoming .....

Hi Pargat:

Thanks for giving me a leg up on my commitment to ferret out the truth about composition and effect of the various components of the greenhouse gas effect.

I will see if I can find anything further to add, especially re Methane & CO2.

Really Paul? I have gone through great effort in the climate change thread to rely on peer-reviewed science, not the MSM that you rely on that Chatgpt was
trained on.



Just for fun, I fed your usual false politicized nasty troll accusations into ChatGPT but also included these two very recent publications, peer-reviewed papers that I cited earlier in the climate change thread that counter the "consensus" narrative that ChatGPT gave you based on older data further diluted by science journalists in the MSM. These are the two papers.

https://www.mdpi.com/2225-1154/11/9/179
https://scienceofclimatechange.org/w...is-Vol.4.2.pdf

Here is what ChatGPT said, armed with this new information;

"The evidence presented warrants careful consideration rather than dismissal with labels. The studies referenced—published in peer-reviewed journals—bring forward significant questions about the role of human emissions in climate change. They highlight, through rigorous multivariate analysis, that water vapor and oceanic activity (particularly sea surface temperature, or SST) play dominant roles in driving atmospheric CO2 levels and warming trends.

For example, the data clearly shows that natural phenomena such as the solubility of CO2 in oceans, affected by SST changes, are far more impactful on atmospheric CO2 levels than human emissions. These findings are supported by the CERES study, which found that urban heat islands (UHIs) might account for up to 40% of the warming recorded in urbanized areas, severely skewing temperature datasets used by institutions like the IPCC. Furthermore, the evidence suggests that water vapor, which constitutes 97% of greenhouse effects, and oceanic processes dwarf the contributions of human emissions in influencing climate variability. If these conclusions hold under further scrutiny and replication, they could fundamentally shift our understanding of climate dynamics.

These findings don’t deny climate change but emphasize that the story is more complex than the singular focus on human CO2 emissions. They highlight the need for better urban planning, improved temperature measurement protocols, and open-minded scientific inquiry into the causes of climate change.

Rather than dismissing this as 'fake news,' one should engage with the evidence and ask the critical question: Are we truly addressing the root causes of climate variability, or are we being misled by incomplete or biased data? If the role of natural factors like water vapor, oceans, and solar activity is as significant as these studies suggest, then policies focused solely on reducing CO2 emissions may miss the mark entirely.

This is about striving for better science and ensuring that decisions affecting billions are based on robust, accurate data—not on assumptions or pre-determined narratives.

This isn’t about denial or politics; it’s about advancing the science and addressing gaps in our current models. I always welcome independent replication and scrutiny of this evidence, as that’s how science progresses."

Sorry to disappoint you, Mr Bob A!

Is there a way out of the current parliamentary mess for PM Justin Trudeau and his Liberal government?

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh has recently declared that his party will vote against the Liberals on a confidence motion in the Commons. Parliament will resume in late January, 2025. Should this occur, the Liberal government could be defeated, virtually ensuring an election.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has been leading in the polls by double digits for well over a year, with the Liberals struggling to stay ahead of the NDP for second place. Were a new election to be held, odds are very strong that the Conservatives would win a massive majority government, with well over 200 seats. The Bloc Quebecois could become the Official Opposition, with the NDP as third place party, and the Liberals sinking to fourth. That is how deep anger and frustration currently sits with the federal Liberals.

I believe that PM Trudeau would do virtually anything to remain Prime Minister. He also desperately wishes to be PM when the G7 will gather in Alberta in June, 2025, so he would host the event. That is still six months away. He also really wants to take on Poilievre in an election, believing, perhaps with plentiful delusion, that he would win, exploiting the Tory leader's inexperience.

What Trudeau could do is to prorogue Parliament when it reconvenes in about six weeks. That would stall any attempt to defeat his government.

Trudeau gets utterly savaged in an online article in the National Post today, spoofing his diary! It is very funny!

I really don't believe he will step down as Liberal leader while he is still PM.

Why is Justin in trouble? Because he spent like a drunken sailor, leading to 'stagflation', which I had predicted would occur, here on chesstalk about 5 years ago...

So far..........a free ride.

Now, especially with it looking like Trudeau has decided to resign, hopefully, will come some scrutiny as to what package Canadians are indicating they will vote for.

"When will Pierre Poilievre’s free ride with Canadians end as he cruises toward taking over the country with a large majority?

It is well past time for some answers from the Conservative leader that amount to more than populist epigrams slavishly repeated by the bobble-head brigade he has made of his caucus.

For more than a year now, Poilievre and the Conservatives have gotten away with punching their ticket to power by vilifying one person, Justin Trudeau. For most of that time, the Conservative Party of Canada has enjoyed a double-digit lead in the polls. That advantage now stands at a gaping 21 points.

Pollster Nik Nanos recently told CTV news that Poilievre has “the easiest job in the country.” All he needs to do is the opposite of whatever Trudeau does."

My View on Canada/USA Relations:

Effective Integration



We accepted being the 51st state, effectively, in 1992 (Effective Jan. 1, 1994), with PM Brian Mulroney (Conservative Party) successfully negotiating NAFTA.

NAFTA stands for North American Free Trade Agreement, a treaty between the United States, Canada, and Mexico that created a free-trade zone in North America. The agreement was signed in 1992 and took effect in 1994.


NAFTA's goals were to:

• Eliminate tariffs on most goods produced by the three countries

• Gradually remove most barriers to cross-border investment and the movement of goods and services

• Open up the three countries' markets

• Ensure that future laws would not create barriers to doing business

• Give North American producers preference over goods not originating in the U.S., Canada, or Mexico

Some say that NAFTA led to an era of free-trade agreements that brought cheap goods to consumers and wealth to investors, but also increased income inequality and weakened labor unions.

AI Overview

Then the integration of Canada into the USA continued on July 1, 2020, with the successor tripartite agreement, USMCA. This United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement replaced NAFTA.

Past Can. PM, Pierre Elliot Trudeau, father of the current PM, Justin, had it right when he expressed grave concern about a mouse sleeping with an elephant.

The Trade Evidence

The United States and Canada have the world's largest trading relationship, with the two countries exchanging billions of dollars of goods and services each day. The trade relationship between the two countries is important to both nations' success, and supports millions of jobs in each country.

Here are some details about the trade between the United States and Canada:

• Goods and services
  In 2023, the total trade between the two countries was $923 billion, with the United States exporting $441 billion and importing $482 billion.

• Investment
  The United States is the largest investor in Canada, and Canada is the fourth-largest investor in the United States. In 2022, the United States invested $438.8 billion in Canada, and Canada invested $589.3 billion in the United States.
• Trade balance
  Canada has had a trade deficit with the United States in every year since 1985, excluding services.
• Trade in specific products
  In 2022, energy products made up one-third of Canada's exports to the United States, and motor vehicles and parts made up nearly one-fifth of the United States' imports from Canada.
• Trade across the border
  The trade across the Ambassador Bridge between Windsor, Ontario and Detroit, Michigan, is equal to all trade between the United States and Japan.

Conclusion

Seems to me Trump & the current Trudeau have it wrong. Canada becoming the 51st State of the USA (Or USA becoming Canada's 11th Province) is not some future event.......it is currently in process.......bye, bye sovereignty (What I said in 1992, if people care to look).

Good morning Bob A.

wow, 1992, that's a long time to wait for an "I told you so"

But I don't want to be an American!!

Thankfully that is the majority opinion. Dilip's link confirms only 10% Canadians want to join US.
All my life, Canada has been challenged by Westerners wanting join US, and Quebecers wanting to separate.

Somehow we have kept it together. Tolerance and understanding is the key.
Americans however prefer domination, intimidation, and conquest. Not my cup of tea.

As the chaos develops in the US, fewer of us will want to embrace the insanity.

[Tom O'Donnell]

Whether it is Liberal or Conservative, you can be sure they do not care about you. Consider one of Doug Ford's first "accomplishments": buck-a-beer. Really shows what he thinks is the priority of the voters. Similarly, this "GST holiday" consists of not taxing things like beer, chips, and chocolates. Same with the government response to Covid: close sports fields and gyms, keep supplying cannabis, Doritos, and booze. It's almost like the government wants to keep the citizens stoned/drunk, stupid, fat, and lazy. Read: helpless.

[Vlad Drkulec]

Lots of cannabis locations seem to be closing lately. For a while there seemed to be one on every corner and sometimes two. The one right next to my main grocery store located conveniently next to a pizza takeout place, a Taco Bell and an A&W seems to have closed. Of course the government does not want you to think too much. They might not like the mischief that you might get up to.

[Bob Armstrong]

So Vlad........

Is this a "thinking" board? It has been labelled "brain dead" in the past.......

If yes, what kind of trouble are we getting into?

I really don't believe he will step down as Liberal leader while he is still PM.

I have a new policy idea that can turn everything around for Justin Trudeau and the federal Liberal party, if they make it a promise to enact after the next election if the Liberals retain power.

It is a policy that I think is LONG OVERDUE and as far as I know, it has never been proposed before? Or maybe I just never heard of it before.

I have a name for it: Child-Rearing Retirement Income Supplement (CRIS).

It is a retirement income supplement for anyone who can prove they spent any years of their working-age life in rearing one or more children. The more children and the more years in rearing them, the higher the benefit. Also, the child must not have become a convicted felon of any sort. In other words, only children raised to become productive members of society are counted, plus any disabled children who for reasons beyond their control could not become productive but who became non-felon adults.

CRIS would not be claimable during any time in which the adult was working full-time. Part-time work would be allowed up to say 20 hours per week.

This would be a LONG-OVERDUE benefit for all those housewives (and househusbands) who gave up careers or at least some working years to be responsible for the care and upbringing of children. Adopted children living in the home would be included, for whatever years they were being reared in the home.

This policy would win votes not just from retired women (and a smaller number of men) but from those who are CURRENTLY rearing children and not working because of that. The sacrifice of raising responsible, productive members of society SHOULD NO LONGER BE A SACRIFICE!

This policy proposal would be a HUGE plus for the Trudeau Liberals. The Conservatives would be sure the oppose it, at least initially, and that would likely be blowback against them. Yes, it would be costly ... but a DESERVED cost because the successful raising of such productive citizens should be seen as a total benefit to society, just as working for a company is seen.

This policy would be seen as BRAVE, COURAGEOUS, AND JUST.

It could turn the federal election around in a Toronto minute.

P.S. maybe Frank Dixon you could mention this idea to any federal Liberal MPs you might happen to know....
