Sounds pointless, just saying.

It is pointless, just grant grabbing. Notice how they just say generic climate change with no definition. Its as if they find climate change something new and surprising. Now if they mean anthropogenic cause climate change why don’t they say so?

Anyhow going with unadjusted data there has been no warming for over 17 years. wonder what they have to say about that.

“Dr. Dery says the study will help determine if climate change will result in there being more, or less fresh water in the future.”

yep yep get out the ouija board. This study like other usual climate change studies will end with more research needed send more money.

Dr. Dery how was this area affected during the 1930’s and 40’s when temperatures where as warm or warmer than now?

Do you have any idea of an natural influence or is the only influence mann caused?

The water level rises and the water levels go down. Where’s my clipboard? I’d do it for a half a million. I’d sure like to see the receipts for this study.

I am rolling on the floor laughing right now. This is great, I need a new set of lawn furniture so a chat with a buddy a few scotches later and tah-dah, I have a research grant for me and my friends.

Mean while back at school we recycle a few old reports with some updated conjecture and there’s the new report. Yup it took us four years @ $250,000.00 p/yr to come up with the working hypothesis**(**suggests further research be done).

This appears to be Federal Grant money.

Hmmm… money from our federal government, that does not believe in climate change, to conduct research into the effects of climate change on the Nechako water basin.

What a waste of money. Just saying. Job creation. These people should be in the acting business.

So sad

Research chairs are mainly hired and funded by federal government with some annual money attached to the chair position to do original research and publish the results and get further research money and …

Water level has connection to flooding. I don’t know the details but do we want some folks up the hill look at the historical trends and forecast the future water levels and give us a picture of where PG area is heading? Anyone a flood victim?

Just ask the dam upstream what the water levels will be like over the next 4 years. They better than anyone would have a handle on it since they control it.

I think we need to try a new approach on dealing with these grants. How about every government grant may only be approved if those who vote for it must put up the first 10%? Put up some of your own money first.

What an utter waste of taxpayers’ money!

Just recently there was headlines about melting of glaciers in the Antarctic but it turns out the media made a major blunder in what was really said. The Citizen even printed related cartoon so they got taken in along with Quirks and Quarks Bob McDonald.

Maybe the dollars came from here,

“The “Kill Keystone XL” crowd isn’t little David up against a Big Oil Goliath. As usual, conventional wisdom isn’t wisdom when the mainstream media ask all the wrong questions with commensurate answers.

Behemoth Big Green outstrips Big Oil in expendable revenue by orders of magnitude — if you know how to follow the money.

The mainstream media don’t know how. Like most liberals, their staffs are afflicted with what 20th century futurist Herman Kahn called “Educated Incapacity” — the learned inability to understand or even perceive a problem, much less a solution.

They’ve been taught to be blind, unable to see Big Green as having more disposable money than Big Oil, so they don’t look into it.”

Ya, we know you put oil on your cornflakes for breakfast Seamutt, but what’s your point. There are more things people say affect climate change than just fossil fuels. But any excuse to push your pro pipelines stance, aye?

Did I say say anything about pipelines, no. It’s adout the huge amount of money being redirected into these so called man caused climate change schemes, money that could be spent on worth while environmental research.

Dispite a couple of decades and untold billions spent there is no proof man affects overall climate. But it is a good cash cow.

I have very little faith in these so called ‘climate models’ produced by supposed research and computers. Just look at how wrong they were over the last twenty years.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t believe in the CO2 scam anymore than you do, but you do take every opportunity to slam anyone who is against Enbridge or keystone and liken environmentalists to fear mongers and chicken littles. My point was there are other causes these people use to claim human caused global warming or climate change besides big oil, but you made the piece try to sound like it was an anti-oil crowd getting this grant.
