Climate change

FYI on Lyme disease in Quebec:

Lyme disease

Recognize the symptoms and know how to protect yourself from Lyme disease, an infection that is transmitted through the bite of an infected tick.

www.quebec.ca

Since 2011, there has been a significant increase in the number of Lyme disease cases reported to the public health authorities in Québec as well as an increase in the proportion of cases that acquired their infection in the province. This proportion has increased from around 50% in 2013 to close to 90% in 2022.

The number of cases of Lyme disease reported in Québec since 2014 is as follows:

• 125 cases in 2014
• 160 cases in 2015
• 177 cases in 2016
• 329 cases in 2017
• 304 cases in 2018
• 500 cases in 2019
• 274 cases in 2020
• 709 cases in 2021
• 586 cases in 2022

The fact that Québec winters are less cold than they used to be partly explains the increases before 2020. The warmer climate enables the ticks to survive and grow more easily. In fact, ticks are active at 4 °C and reach their optimum level of activity at about 25 °C.

If the disease is not detected and treated quickly, the bacteria can spread in the blood and cause other symptoms, which develop in the weeks and months after the bite. These symptoms may, for example, include:

• The appearance of several expanding rashes, with little or no pain or itching
• Facial paralysis, numbness in a limb, neck pain, severe headaches
• Swelling in one or more joints (for example, the knee); it is usually painless
• Chest pain, palpitations or dizziness

Yet another consequence of planet warming. Tick-borne bacterial infections are rising. And it's not only Lyme. Anaplasmosis and babesiosis are not uncommon. Fortunately vaccines and PrEP solutions are in clinical trials.

Un été pas facile ici au Québec et Canada...des feux de forêt menaçant partout au pays/des évacuations nombreuses/des morts.....beaucoup de smog...même scénario à travers la planète....la tragédie /HAWAI.......n'annonce rien de très jojo for years to come .

Insurance (the smart money) and climate change:

 

[Don Julio]

July 2023 was the Earth's hottest month on record according to Copernicus Climate Change Service, a European climate monitoring organization.

Odd that the temp is going up, that never ever happened in history that global warming happens after an ice age. For the Hawaii fires, not noted by the media that the helicopters could not fly due to extreme winds, probably also caused by climate change. They get over 600 fires a year and most are under control with helicopter assist.

Concerning Hawaii and climate change.

Something suspicious here backtrack 2022:

Officials suspect someone is setting fires all over Maui - KHON2

Presently:
They did not shut power???
In Florida they ALWAYS do this before high winds.

Hawaii utility faces scrutiny for not shutting power

Videos put scrutiny on downed power lines as possible cause

Hawaii's top power utility accused of years of mismanagement

"In one instance, a 2022 funding request for $189.7 million from the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission to harden its power grid statewide, Hawaiian Electric said that the risk of its utility system “causing a wildfire ignition is significant.” The company said it needed the funding to ensure its facilities were not “the origin or a contributing source of ignition for a wildfire."
Despite the request being approved, Hawaiian Electric did not act, the lawsuit alleges.
“This wildfire was not only predictable, it was predicted,” Watts added, “both by (Hawaiian Electric) and anyone else that bothered to look into the issue.”

Also No warning sirens:

Maui's emergency services chief resigns after facing criticism

Something about the water?

Why Was There No Water to Fight Hawaii Wildfire

CNN careful with this one hehe:

Hawaii delayed diverting water that could have helped Maui ... - CNN

If you look at past images the town of Maui is mostly exposed wood n plastic siding.
All it took was High winds from a tropical storm blowing in the right direction to trigger this event.
From what I understand it was Administrative Failure combined with High winds.
Climate change??
Not sure of that here.

Just for fun:

Ahh yes Blackrock, Trudeau's good friend and mother of Environmental Social governance (ESG) investing.

Maui, some of the most expensive real estate in the world.
Apparently VERY expensive land prices in Maui.
Who gets the land?
Disaster capitalism?

They had NEVER seen anything like it! NON-STOP

Cool lightning storm in Michigan.

Read that over the past couple of years Oprah bought about 1,000 acres there, her house was unscathed.

Interesting world fire map visualizer 2000-2023.

If you play video the fires seem to have a "Rhythm" in the same areas I guess following seasons.
Very strange indeed.

This was in Alberta

In a news release issued Friday, the RCMP said Audrey Elaine Dunham has been charged with 32 counts of arson following an “in-depth investigation into a series of suspicious wildfires in the Bonnyville and Lac La Biche areas.”Jun 4, 2021

Nevada Rangers demonstrate how to handle "environmental protestors" when they try to stop all traffic on a remote rural highway.

I love when the fat girl is on the ground and she whines "We're environmental protestors," as if that excuses their obnoxious behavior.

Moment Nevada Rangers plow truck through Extinction Rebellion protest

Video taken In Nevada shows around six protestors from the Seven Circles group as well as Extinction Rebellion blocking a road with a trailer.

These citizens have the right to peacefully protest and the officers have the right to remove them from the highway. That's all this should be yet you "love it when the fat girl whines".

There is no right to block traffic on a public road. That is not a “peaceful protest”-it’s a criminal act. The cops knew the law and the whiny fat girl did not. She got what she deserved. Great job by those Rangers.

Leftists believe that they can get away with any kind of protest that is in the service of one of their favorite causes. But they lose their minds when right wingers engage in an equally disruptive protest such as January 6. The difference is that these environmentalists will get off with a slap on the wrist (just like the violent leftist rioter of summer 2020) while the right wing rioters of Jan. 6 are being sentenced to years in prison. It’s time we treated everyone the same when they break the law.

Anyone who breaks the law - be they peaceful environmental protestors, violent rioters and insurrectionists attempting to disrupt the peaceful transfer of presidential power, or a former POTUS - should be held accountable for their actions. It is absurd to suggest that every illegal action has the same gravity and deserves similar punishment. That's a ridiculous comparison.

These retards chained themselves on a trailer that was blocking the road to access the Burning Man festival.
The part when the cop destroyed their funny signs with his F-150 was hilarious, these protesters need to reevaluate their past time or someone is gonna get hurt.

Climate activism has intensified in recent years as the planet warms to dangerous levels, igniting more extreme heat, floods, storms, and wildfires around the world. Tactics are getting more radical and are expected to continue worldwide.

Hottest day on record was around 1931 at 135 degrees with a population of 1.5 billion people. Not denying climate change but the media and political embellishment is top tier.
We are improving quite a bit but some still demand it be done now and not in a decade or so. These same people drive cars, use airplanes, heat their homes.

On July 20, 2021 the temperature was 135 degrees in Death Valley. What happens on any one day is weather. Climate is weather over time. The planet is warming dangerous and has been for decades. Actions to reduce greenhouse gases is required TODAY and cannot wait another decade or so.

 

[Mandouke]

For a planet that is ostensibly warming, I found it to be a pretty cool summer here in Montreal, weather-wise, that is. Not one heat wave all summer. Go figure!

 

[Don Julio]

. Climate is weather over time. The planet is warming dangerous and has been for decades. Actions to reduce greenhouse gases is required TODAY and cannot wait another decade or so.

We are taking action, relax. Nothing Canada does or can do will alter climate change, we could vanish like the Anasazi and nothing would change. According to an ongoing temperature analysis led by scientists at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), the average global temperature on Earth has increased by at least 1.1° Celsius (1.9° Fahrenheit) since 1880.
That is to be expected with the added 9.2 billion people.
The governments will spend trillions, they along with their friends will make hundreds of millions and nothing will change, it never got worse and they will claim victory.
Same as if we did not go full retard ( From Tropic Thunder ) and continue on a feasible and thoughtful pace.
