I have a question. I wonder who might want to answer it. The situation in Juneua Alaska. If we have known that the Northwest passage has slowly been opening for a few decades if not more. Probably now, close to 50-60 years..Why have any and all government officials, allowed and continue allow building in obvious areas, and or along coastlines……and perhaps maybe instead of panicking over that, is it not time to start putting more energy into “what next, where next”??
Crops.
It should surprise no-one that as the average temperatures increase, precipitation patterns change. Yet for some inexplicable reason so many here seem shocked and utterly dismayed. .
Who says, what grows here in Canada today, won’t instead grow somewhere else. Who says, that crops growing in warmer, dryer or wetter environments won’t grow and thrive here tomorrow..weather patterns are and will change. As will what grows and lives wherever.
Here’s a quote from one article I recalled

Also found crocodile tears about “invasive” species telling. Oh no!!!!!!Some will die off, some will thrive, some will migrate out, some in…
One thing I am fairly certain of. The hubris and audacity of mankind knows no limits. Always thinking it knows better than nature.
A thousand years ago….the population of various species would have been more resilient. A thousand years ago the planet wasn’t infected by us…The problem is us, and our population growth…as always few want to look at, talk about that..
Nor can I quite figure out why, with a cash cow like fossil. Few want to capitalize on it while we can and make, the actual changes we should be. Thinking about tomorrow, because it is coming…..No matter how much cauterwualing , twisting like fish on hooks we do.
