    Nothing that a good rain won't fix. If anyone has lived in this country long enough you know once the rain starts it doesn't quit. Look at California for example it had a long drought that is now over because the long term weather pattern has gone back to wet

    All this panic but historically major El Ninos like we just experienced come with very wet summers.
    Time for the news cycle to move on until something actually happens.

      Things are happening, because there are still multiple wildfires that are burning in Alberta.

    Bill Vander Zalm, B.C. premier requested documents about spraying the skies from freedom of information in 2013. I had to evacuate for two weeks and was given email updates mentioning some fires were arson. Back to the chemtrails. I read an article from southern alberta insurance company that were investing in cloud seeding to reduce size of hailstones.

    How about not let out of jail the 3+ guys they caught setting fires last year in west Alberta. How about finding who paid them. How about stopping all camping when the fire season arrives. How about asking why they are spraying our skies full of chemicals that are changing our weather.

      There wouldn't be climate deniers if environmentalists' predictions came true. Back as the as far as the late 1970s, scientists were claiming that if the world didn't reduce pollution, we would see another ice age by the year 2020 because the pollution was going to block out the sun and the earth would turn into polar desert.
      Leonard Nimoy from the tv series Star Trek did a documentary called THE COMING ICE AGE ,where he narrates in a documentary.
      Canadian scientist David Suzuki in the early 1980s made outrageous claims on his television show, THE NATURE OF THINGS that the world would see mass starvation and famine because of drought on every continent.
