We See

Halloween, rainbows and change

Increase in housing sales implies a bright future

Note the Huge sign concerning Federal $$ being spent – One might guess Harper changed a few door knobs – but I hear roof repairs were really done

 

An Understanding

Dog

 

After last system passed through – a period of showers

While there was the occasional soaking – it still led to numerous rainbows and strongly contrasting light making for an enjoyable Fall day

 

Double Rainbow from Harbour to 4th West or later City Hall

 

Double Rainbow below

 

Witch’s sleeves etc were moving with the breeze making scary stuff when dusk to dark

We See – RBC doing renovations in Mall

 

 

Contrast City emissions document with Provinces

Here is from the City – obvious target would be gas powered vehicles --- but note it is the fuel and not the cars per se – thus if vehicles were battery powered from non Carbon produced electricity there would be no GHG emissions

 

Provincial brochure includes the land fill – huge producer of Methane etc

When City had its emissions inventory done – it did not have to deal with Dump – plus PNG would not give them a figure for commercial/ industrial gas usage --- thus understandably preliminary

 

So contrast it with 2009 release of CO2 emissions modeled by province – where land fill producing about 1/3rd our emissions --- and perhaps easiest to deal with without getting 3rd Ave etc ‘frazzled’ about making real changes to transport/ Green building code enforcement etc (more later)

 

 

More Later

Above is from the City – below the Province – note provincial GHG emissions about double the City’s

See my ‘Green washing?’ or source to City GHG emissions study and Provincial brochure is from this BC site – go to the P’s etc or the PDF

 

 

More on ‘Hundred Mile diet’ and local energy, food security later

SQCRD needs close attention – Does Rupert need the hassle? I will argue later we subsidize the Charlottes – and they produce most the ‘friction’ that seldom leads to light and more often  to ‘combustion’
