The deniers have been dealt a blow from which they will never recover. After wasting so many years, for which one day they must be held accountable. But none of this will stop Harper from pushing ahead with his pipeline plans. The Chinese want our oil and he will do anything to please them. Even though as some economists have recently warned, the Chinese won't be able to carry us for long. They have their own very serious problems, and some big chickens are coming home to roost. The Harperites aren't just sellouts, they're IDIOTS....Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-49864161785231033802012-08-07T04:49:35.324-04:002012-08-07T04:49:35.324-04:00hi e.a.f...I agree with everything you say.

But we need people to be shocked into action, and a whole new approach to how we treat the planet, so we can preserve it for future generations. It seems obvious to me that at this point only a global revolution can save us...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-47058487640241027502012-08-06T09:27:57.125-04:002012-08-06T09:27:57.125-04:00Simon,

Muller's project took three years to prove the IPCC wrong and, instead, proved that the UN panel actually understated both the degree of warming and the role man made emissions played in causing it. Muller actually concluded that virtually the entire 2.5F warming since pre-industrial days was man made." from above link.<br /><br />Now we have allot of work to do, being in Canada with the Harper government asleep at the switch we have even more work to do. I call on Stephen Harper and his entire cabinet to resign because of the fact they axed the climate scientists and shut down their various labs when Canadians needed them the most (treason). He did this in favor of a treasonous alignment with the RED CHINESE, DOUBLE TREASON Stephen you are a traitor whore of the worst kind now GET OUT.<br /><br />Go to Red China where you and you ilk belong, you do not belong in Canada. Be gone Stephen. By the powers invested in me I ban you to Red China FOREVER>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-43441190243979823532012-08-06T03:41:15.885-04:002012-08-06T03:41:15.885-04:00Even if we took climate change out of the equation...Even if we took climate change out of the equation we would still be left with a very polluted world. One in which species are vanishing every day & land is being clear cut, lakes & rivers polluted, etc.<br /><br />We can't always depend upon governments to make it right. We ourselves have to play a part. We can start by no longer running to the store each time a new iphone, ipad, computer, telephone, t.v. hits the market. These are the things which contribute to pollution & the destruction of the enviornment. <br /><br />It is all well & good to go the easy route & ban plastic bags, but really, lets have a look at the bigger items we use like they were plastic bags & create a whole other level of pollution & garbage. The plastic bag thing is great for politicians but it really isn't the big issue. <br /><br />How many people purchase "dryer sheets" for their laundry? Do we really need them, no. Scented laundry detergent, no not really. what type of chemicals are in those "room deoderizers"? <br /><br />If we simply tried living with what we have until it no longer works we would find we had more money & the enviornment would be much better off. Do we really need a new computer every yr or so. Not really. They can go very nicely for 10 yrs, same with cars. cell phones, can last 5 yrs. <br /><br />We have only to look at the amount of garbage sent to the land fills when houses are demolished or renovated each time the kitchen counters change colour. <br /><br />Harper will go in due course. What we replace him with will be up to Canadians. In the mean time we can all look at what we do as individuals & curtail our consumerizmee.a.f.noreply@blogger.com
