Congratulations to CBC for winning the crisis obfuscation award. 👏 In an article about impacts of extreme #drought in southern #Alberta, you managed to refer to climate change only once, and it’s in a quote. #ClimateChange #ABdrought https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/pincher-creek-david-desabrais-cowley-when-in-drought-1.7170621
'A race against time': Alberta community chasing solutions after months of hauling water | CBC News
The Municipal District of Pincher Creek has been dealing with a water crisis for months, which has already cost it more than $1 million. Now, time is ticking on a possible solution — but are bigger problems still ahead?

“In the north, oil and gas dominates, accounting for 39 per cent of surface water allocated for consumption in the Peace basin, and 92 per cent in the Athabasca basin.” #ClimateChange #drought #ABDrought #FossilFuels https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/in-this-drought-year-alberta-s-water-allocation-is-under-the-microscope-here-s-what-the-data-says-1.7133575

TheGentYYCBut don't worry about it Alberta, your champion #DanielleSmith is ON IT. She's pretty sure it's arson.
micropainterAnother good idea for spring: a friend has been saving the 'warming up' water from showers and washing up pots to throw on trees and shrubs.
We can all cut down on shower time, and only run full dishwasher and washer loads now.
But I want the Alberta govt to impose water restrictions on fossil fuel companies & give farmers, ranchers, and growers priority in a drought.
