Tres amusing to see Rex Murphy, Terence Corcoran, Unca Bread, and the usual cast of dinosaurs disparaging climate science and then interview an actual scientist.

Watch the 2nd question where I ask him why we should have confidence in the science.

2/Here's another scientist explaining atmospheric rivers and how climate change makes them more intense and more frequent.

And why BC, in particular, can expect more extreme weather from now on.

3/This climate scientist explains why BC, Alberta glaciers melting (relatively) fast will affect water supply.

As in, communities that rely on glacier melt to augment their water supply may be affected.

4/Another scientist explaining why oceans are losing their ability to absorb CO2, the consequences for the global ecosystem, and what we need to do.

This is a bit distressing, isn't it?

5/More bad news about glaciers. This one in the Antarctic is melting rapidly, contributing to the rise of global oceans.

6/I know talking about "blue carbon" ocean ecosystems like kelp, seagrasses is boring as hell, but this is important.

7/COP26 produced another commitment to stop deforestation. Let's hope this one sticks because this is one helluva wicked problem (as BC is finding out).

8/Food security for billions threatened by shifting tropical rain belt, climate change to blame

Sounds not unlike the shifting atmospheric rivers that have devastated BC, right?

9/Do you think all those uber right wing columnists and status quo apologists watched or read even a bit of climate science reporting like the interviews above?

Almost certainly not.

Then why is anyone listening to them?
